IRVING, Texas - The Cowboys’ defensive line took another major hit on Friday when the club officially ruled out defensive end Jeremy Mincey for Sunday’s game with the Falcons.
Mincey, who missed practice the last two days with what was initially diagnosed as illness, apparently suffered a concussion and will not be ready to face Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Atlanta’s offense.
Mincey’s injury is the latest blow to a D-line unit that already lost valuable backup Terrell McClain this week. The veteran defensive tackle went to injured reserve this week with a toe injury and will be lost for the season.
