We have known for a few days now that the Dallas Cowboys are going to be operating on the road on Sunday against the New England Patriots without star linebacker Leighton Vander Esch. On Saturday evening, we found out they’d be missing someone else.
As if matters weren’t already a little bit difficult for the Cowboys linebackers while down Vander Esch, they will also apparently be without their position coach. The Dallas Morning News reported on Saturday evening that linebackers coach Ben Bloom will be absent from the team’s game at New England due to illness and a personal issue.
