FRISCO, Texas -- On Wednesday, Mark Sanchez was on the Dallas Cowboys' practice field and things were temporarily OK.
Practice and games have always been a place for players to get away from what may be happening off the field in their personal lives. For a few hours, Sanchez could think about Cover 2 and dig routes and of ways to help the Cowboys get ready to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
Anything would have been better than what the quarterback has experienced the past few days.
On Monday, Sanchez was a pallbearer at the funeral of his former Southern Cal and New York Jets teammate Joe McKnight in New Orleans.
