FRISCO, Texas -- Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch's season is over because of a neck injury and his career is also in question.

"We had just completely left it up to how he was evolving but of course it's such a very significant loss for us," owner and general manager Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas on Tuesday.

"He's an integral part of that defense out there. We just wish him well and just the nature of his potential injury here causes me to really think longer term and beyond what it means for next week or beyond what it means for next month.
