IRVING, Texas – He might be focusing on the Eagles, but J.J. Wilcox is going to carry a reminder from Week 1 for quite a while.
The headline-grabbing hit that he put on Odell Beckham Jr. didn’t just make the young wide receiver woozy, it gave Wilcox a battle scar on his nose that required stitches – eight to be exact.
“I think eight – it was a big gash,” Wilcox said, with a fresh bandage applied to the bridge of his nose.
The heavy impact set quite the tone for the Cowboys defense, which limited Eli Manning to just 197 passing yards.
