Thank god! This team is going to live and die by the Oline.

I'll take any good injury news at this point.

Yeah it's the worst part about football and we have been so fortunate that Frederick and Martin almost never get hurt.

 

[Couchcoach]

Fantastic news!
Would have been a big blow to the entire season

Preseason games are a horrible idea. When will we ever get rid of them?

 

[boozeman]

bullet dodged.

I don't like the "bone bruise" thing. Remember Anthony Spencer's "bone bruise" that basically ended his career?

Is that what they are calling it? Thought it was a hyper extension.

I thought Spencer's deal was a bone on bone, lack of cartilage thing. I don't think Martin has this problem.

That’s what I remember.

Let's look at it this way, if Martin is going to need microfracture surgery that could end his career we'll figure it out within the next month or two, so no reason to fret about it now.

For now I'll just assume that's not the case.

yeah. I havent heard this bone bruise label thrown around either. Just hyper extension.

It started with the same diagnosis...bone bruise.

There was a tweet that mentioned the bone bruise. I jist dont remember which media person tweeted it or I would post. Just remember seeing it on one of the many tweets after the news broke yesterday.

 

[boozeman]

For lack of trying to be "that guy" on a message board that starts throwing out medical journals as source material, a bone bruise means there are small fractures that lead to the hemmoraging.

Maybe you're right.

His career's probably over.

Yeah I saw this from Todd Archer.

After MRI today on his hyperextended left knee, the Cowboys believe Zack Martin will be able to play in the Sept. 9 season opener at Carolina, according to a source. The knee checked out fine structurally and he is dealing with a bone bruise.

I guess he calls it hyperextended and a bone bruise. Anyway, doesn't remind me at all of what happened with Spencer and it sounds like Martin will be ready for week one.

My bigger concern is Woods at this point. Especially since our first string defense has looked so good with him.
