The loss of Columbo is huge, absolutely. But it also gives Doug Free his shot in the regular season. He's a 4th rounder that was drafted as the possible replacement for Flozell.
Free played the rest of the game after Columbo went down. He did not do bad. Nothing specatacular, but nothing disasteraous either. Just not too bad for a guy who does not get as many snaps at practice as the starters do.
There is also talk of Dallas bringing in Jon Runyan for a look. He is available as a FA and they say he has fully recovered from that microfacture surgery he had over the summer. Again.....we will just have to see.
Injuries are part of the game, and it presents challenges to the team to overcome. We will see how and if they can overcome those challenges.
