Report: Leighton Vander Esch MRI revealed right shoulder stinger, not neck injury

The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday afternoon and one of the more concerning things that happened was that linebacker Leighton Vander Esch exited with what appeared to be a neck injury.

Vander Esch has dealt with neck issues before throughout his NFL career and they are obviously very serious. His health remains the most important thing, but in terms of the football situation, the Cowboys sorely missed him when he was out. A serious injury to him threatens to derail what has been a very good defense for most of the season.
