Cowboys' Geoff Swaim needs wrist surgery, out for foreseeable future

FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys will be without starting tight end Geoff Swaim for the foreseeable future because of a wrist injury that will require surgery.

Coach Jason Garrett would not rule out the possibility of Swaim returning before the regular season ends on Dec. 30. Swaim suffered the injury late in the Cowboys' 22-19 win against the Atlanta Falcons. Tests on Monday showed a break and other damage, according to Garrett, requiring the surgery.

Swaim has 26 catches for 242 yards and a touchdown in nine games, surpassing his career totals in his first three seasons.
