Cowboys CB Morris Claiborne Tore Piece Of Bone Off His Pelvis, May Still Need Surgery

Cowboys CB Morris Claiborne tells Jane Slater of NFL Media that he tore a piece of the bone off of his pelvis. Claiborne added that heโ€™s trying to avoid undergoing surgery but the plan, for now, is for him to get another MRI in three weeks.

  • Clarence Hill mentions that Claiborne is nowhere close to returning and may still need to undergo surgery but wonโ€™t know for another 2-3 weeks.

According to David Chao, avulsions typically cost players 6-8 weeks, which would leave Claiborne with a return date of Week 14-16.

Claiborne, 26, is a former first-round pick of the Cowboys back in 2012. He played out his rookie contract with Dallas before returning to the team on a one-year, $3 million back in March.

Claiborne will be an unrestricted free agent next year.

In 2016, Claiborne has appeared in seven games for the Cowboys and recorded 26 tackles, one interception, a fumble recovery, and five pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 8 cornerback out of 118 qualifying players.

Weโ€™ll have more regarding Claiborne as the news is available.
