Dallas Cowboys training camp: Veteran wideout suffers serious injury 

The Dallas Cowboys will be facing some adversity as they are expected to be without wide receiver James Washington for the next 6-10 weeks. Washington suffered a fracture in his foot in practice and will be sidelined for a while.

ESPN's Adam Shefter Tweeted:

"Cowboys are concerned that veteran WR James Washington suffered a Jones fracture in his foot today, per source. Washington was carted off and is undergoing additional testing."

Here is the video of Washington going down in practice:

Washington was signed this offseason by the Cowboys as a key free agent. On March 18, 2022, he signed a one-year contract with the team.

Wide receiver Michael Gallup is currently on the physically unable to perform list as he continues to recover from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

Dallas is also without their former number one receiver Amari Cooper, having traded him to the Cleveland Browns this offseason.

Washington was expected to be the number three or four receiver for the Cowboys heading into the season behind CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, and rookie Jalen Tolbert. With Gallup still recovering from the injury he suffered last season, it opened up a big opportunity for Washington to become the number two receiver.
