The Dallas Cowboys have been at it for less than a full day and already have a new, potentially serious medical concern. Safety Donovan Wilson signed a new, three-year deal over the offseason to take the mantle as the highest-paid at that position on the team. The youngest of the three-headed monster Dan Quinn loves to deploy, Wilson appears to now be the mainstay entering his fifth season in the league and with the team.
But now there’s a ton of breath holding as the bidirectional talent who can be an enforcer and cover deep sustained an undisclosed injury during the first practice of training camp.
Update: It’s a calf strain that will sideline Wilson for 4-6 weeks according to ESPN’s Todd Archer.

Being carted off the field doesn’t necessarily indicate a serious injury. Sometimes carts are used just to ease the burden of getting the player inside. As of now, not enough is known to speculate, but it is worth reporting.
More information will be added to this article as it becomes available.
Wilson signed a three-year, $21 million deal this past offseason.
