James Washington Expected to Miss 6-10 Weeks After Fracturing Foot
Washington will undergo surgery on Tuesday.
On Monday afternoon in Oxnard, California, former OSU receiver James Washington was carted off the field with what feared to be a significant injury. Later Monday evening, those fears were confirmed, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that he suffered a Jones fracture in his right foot. Multiple reporters confirmed the news, adding that a timetable for his return is expected to be somewhere between six and 10 weeks.
He will undergo surgery on Tuesday.
Ten weeks from Tuesday would put him at a projected return of October 11th, in which case he would miss at least the first five games of the season. Re-injury rates drop significantly after 10 weeks, so while an earlier return is possible, Dallas may take a more cautious approach with him.
Washington’s had a string of bad luck since signing with Dallas, first with a shoulder injury and now with a rare Jones fracture that can be complicated for recovery. He was expected to be a key piece of the 53-man roster and a revamped receiving corps, but injury and a surgery could complicate that effort.
