OXNARD, Calif. -- Dallas Cowboys guard Rob Jones suffered a broken bone in his neck in Sunday's practice that will keep him out two to three months, according to sources.
Jones, who signed a one-year, $3.75 million deal with the Cowboys as a free agent in March, was hurt late in practice but he spent time post-practice working with first-round pick Tyler Booker on their craft.
He underwent an exam and further testing, including an MRI, after practice that revealed the injury, which will not require surgery.
Jones started 30 of 49 games in four years with the Miami Dolphins before joining the Cowboys with a deal that guaranteed him $3 million.
