They say bad things come in threes. The Cowboys are currently hoping that it’s not actually fours or fives. Their deflating loss to the Cardinals and the broken pinkie suffered by quarterback Tony Romo has been compounded by the expected absence of rookie running back Felix Jones. Jones is expected to miss at least two weeks with a strained hamstring. The injury occurred during a 14-yard run as part of a drive that gave the Cowboys a 14-7 lead. Jones left the game and didn’t return. And so with the offense likely to focus on the running game given the elevation of the immobile Brad Johnson to the starting lineup, the Cowboys will have to get it done in the short term without their first-round rookie from Arkansas.
