Who's Cowboys' emergency long snapper?
FRISCO, Texas – When the Philadelphia Eagles lost long snapper Jon Dorenbos to injury and then their backup snapper, Brent Celek, last week, it got the attention of the Dallas Cowboys.
While teams prepare for all kinds of contingencies, losing two long snappers in one game is hardly at the top of the list, but for the Eagles it turns out their emergency choice, Trey Burton, did a better job than Celek.
The Cowboys were almost forced into emergency action last week against the New York Giants when L.P. Ladouceur suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter. After a quick examination by the team’s medical staff, Ladouceur was good to go, but the Cowboys did not need to put him into action.
