The Dallas Cowboys are concerned that wide receiver James Washington may have suffered a serious foot injury at practice on Monday.
Washington went streaking down the left sideline during a passing drill at practice. He went up for a pass attempt but was unable to make the catch. Washington seemed to be bothered and started hopping off the field, only putting weight on his left leg.
