Former LSU CB Morris Claiborne hopes to return to Cowboys by the end of the season
In the Dallas Cowboys’ overtime win over the Philadelphia Eagles five weeks ago, former LSU DB Morris Claiborne suffered an avulsion fracture, which is basically a bone being torn off the pelvis.
Despite the horrendous-sounding injury, Claiborne said he’s confident he’ll be back on the field before the regular season comes to an end, according to the Star-Telegram:
“I’m getting a lot better,” Claiborne said “Feeling a lot better. rehab and everything is going good. I’m doing more than I was expecting to be doing at this time. Hopefully, in a couple of weeks I will be back on the field. Just the way it’s going now, I feel like will be back before the season ends.”
In limited action this season, Claiborne has recorded 26 tackles, five passes defensed and one interception. He’s also recovered a fumble.
As the Cowboys continue to dominate the rest of the NFL, with an 11-1 record. If Claiborne can return, it will help bolster the Dallas defense for the playoff push.
