The Dallas Cowboys' defense has taken yet another hit. Owner Jerry Jones said that linebackerJustin Durant tore his biceps during Monday night's 20-17 loss to Washington, according to the team's official website. Durant is likely out for the season.
The Cowboys' defense has overachieved this season, but they are still an ordinary unit. They are also without cornerbackMorris Claiborne for the rest of the season. On Monday night, we saw what can happen to the Cowboys when the offense doesn't carry the day.
It's a huge loss for a team that has already been without their best linebacker Sean Lee for the season. Durant is the team's leading tackler despite missing two games and was doing a solid job all year at weakside linebacker. This is not a defense with particularly good depth; 2012 fourth-round pick Kyle Wilberis next in line behind Durant.
