The first shoe has dropped for the 2016 Dallas Cowboys…or should I say iPhone?
Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett revealed that veteran running back Darren McFadden would miss multiple months after suffering a broken elbow in a home accident.
Cowboys RBs coach Gary Brown said Darren McFadden fell Memorial Day weekend on his right elbow trying to keep from dropping his cell phone.
That’s right. McFadden didn’t want to drop his cell phone. Thus, he sacrificed his elbow to save his cell phone.
@DAVi_DiGi Gary Brown on the fall: "He was trying to keep his iPhone S, his brand new one from hitting the ground and cracked his elbow."
Assuming this is an accurate description of what took place, if McFadden actually bought an Otter Box, he might actually still be healthy.
The 28-year-old McFadden rushed for 1,089 yards in his first season with the Cowboys in 2015. As the likes of Alfred Morris and rookie runner Ezkiel Elliott threaten to steal time away (and probably a starting job) from McFadden, he picked a really bad time to keep his cell phone from hitting the deck.
