X-Rays Negative On Witten's Ribs
27th October, 2008 - 9:01 am
ESPN - Cowboys' tight end Jason Witten left the team's win over the Buccaneers on Sunday with a rib injury, but X-rays were negative.

"I took a shot. It doesn't feel good right now, obviously," Witten said after the game. "I'm hoping for the best and hopefully get back to it next week."

Witten was hurt at the end of the first quarter.

Teams trainers looked at him on the sideline before taking him into the locker room. X-rays were negative, and Witten returned to the sideline before the half although he went back into the locker room before the 2-minute warning.

He got back on the field for the team's first play after halftime, lined up as a fullback. He took part in several plays that series but didn't play again after that.

"I tried to doctor it up a little bit at halftime and come out, but just didn't have it in me," Witten said. "I've just got to fight through and hopefully get back to it next week." [READ]
