Dallas Places Rookie RB Felix Jones on Injured Reserve

The Dallas Cowboys placed first round pick Felix Jones on injured reserve. Jones suffered a season ending toe injury while rehabbing an early season hamstring injury.

This is a big blow to the Cowboy's playoff hopes. I have said repeatedly I don't think the Cowboys are going to make the playoffs this year. If they do manage to pull it off they'll certainly be the 6th seed in the NFC. Felix Jones wasn't their primary rusher, but he was the lightning to Marion Barber's thunder.

Jones was also an excellent kick returner with gamechanging ability. He had a 98 yard touchdown in week two against the Eagles.

The only shot the Cowboys had at making the playoffs was bringing Felix Jones back to improve the offense and special teams, because Lord knows their defense isn't going to get them into the post season. Now that shot is dead. Sorry Cowboys fans.
