Cornerback Orlando Scandrick left the Dallas Cowboys’ season opener in the second quarter Sunday after breaking a bone in his left hand.

But the former Boise State star isn’t ruling himself out for Dallas’ game Sunday against the Denver Broncos.

“I feel good honestly,” Scandrick told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Tuesday.

Scandrick had a plate put in his hand Monday to stabilize a broken third metacarpal, according to ESPN.com.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Monday he expected Scandrick back for the team’s Week 3 game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Scandrick also told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram he is day-to-day and plans to return by the Sept.
