Another day of camp, another curveball for the Dallas Cowboys. But this one hurts. Literally. Rob Jones, the steady veteran and protector of Dak Prescott, broke a bone in his neck during Sunday’s practice. Two to three months, that’s the early timeline. And while the official diagnosis sounds clinical, there’s nothing routine about a neck injury for a lineman. This changes things.
Sources: Cowboys guard Rob Jones, who has been working with the starting unit during the early part of training camp, broke a bone in his neck during Sunday’s practice and now is expected to miss 2-3 months, per @toddarcher and me.

Jones wasn’t a household name, but he was the guy Dallas was leaning on to provide some early-season security. An undrafted success story from 2022, he knew the system, handled his matchups, and let the No. 12 overall pick, Tyler Booker, develop at a slower pace. Well, that plan’s out the window now.
The camp development sent shock waves to the fans. One fan wrote, “Isn’t that usually career-ending.” That shows how much they care for their franchise. It’s their 30th season since last winning the trophy in 1995. Another one chimed in, “OUCH. Wow. Hoping he has a full recovery.”
Stay tuned! There’s more to this story.
