Dallas Cowboys’ CB Morris Claiborne might miss minicamp in June – NFL News
Dallas Cowboys’ first-round pick in the 2012 National Football League (NFL) draft, cornerback, Morris Claiborne, might miss the team’s three-day minicamp in June, different reports suggested on Wednesday, May 23.
Claiborne is rehabbing from a wrist injury that was initially expected to take the recovery time of around three to four months after he had undergone a surgery before the draft.
The Cowboys were aware of the injury when they selected him, but the player was hopeful of recovering before the minicamp in June.
Claiborne has already missed the team’s rookie minicamp and he is also not participating in the ongoing organised team activities (OTAs).
According to ESPN, Claiborne will now also miss the minicamp in June and will be able to join the team in July’s training camp before the start of preseason games.
The player is apparently dejected on not being able to join his teammates for workouts, but he wants to keep his focus on being hundred percent fit before the start of the regular season.
He said:
"I don't like it, but I know it's what's best for me in the long run and what's best for the team. I'm not trying to rush it. I'm just going to take my time and do what the trainers have me doing in the meantime."
On the other hand, rookie wide receiver, Danny Coale, who suffered a broken left foot during the OTAs, is also expected to miss the minicamp in June. He will have to undergo a surgery to treat the injury and might be able to join the team in July’s training
camp.
With these two rookies and a few more youngsters out of practice, Cowboys’ head coach, Jason Garrett, is falling short of options.
However, there is nothing he can do but wait for their return. He said:
"I don't think you adjust your expectations; you just do your best within the circumstances that they're in. You try to get them as much information as you can get them and allow them to process that as well as they can so when they are back and ready to
go, they can jump in at full speed."
