FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Neville Gallimore suffered a dislocated left elbow in Friday's preseason loss to the Arizona Cardinals and will miss 6-8 weeks, according to a source.
While not a season-ending injury, the loss of Gallimore, a projected starter, is a blow to the defense.
Gallimore, who had an MRI on Saturday and will not need surgery, had earned the praise of coach Mike McCarthy and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn for his work in the offseason program and training camp. The Cowboys have veterans Carlos Watkins, Brent Urban and Justin Hamilton on the roster and selected Osa Odighizuwa in the third round and Quinton Bohanna in the sixth.
