The Dallas Cowboys entered their game on Sunday afternoon against the Los Angeles Rams with shallow depth at linebacker thanks to Leighton Vander Esch missing his fourth straight game.
Thankfully, Sean Lee played quite heroically, although there were two young players in Luke Gifford and Chris Covington ready to go if called upon. Unfortunately, the former got into the game early on and suffered an injury that is going to end his season. Luke Gifford has a fractured arm.
A blow to Cowboys’ linebacker depth: rookie Luke Gifford is out for the season, source said.
