Cowboys Wide Receiver Sustains Concussion During Training Camp's 'Play of the Day' (VIDEO)"
At the Dallas Cowboys' training camp, David Durden, a promising wide receiver, left everyone stunned with a spectacular diving touchdown catch. The play, part of a situational «Mojo Moment» drill, was undoubtedly the highlight of the day. But for Durden and the Cowboys, the excitement was short-lived, as the talented undrafted free agent suffered a head injury on that very play.
This thrilling moment quickly turned concerning, as Durden was forced to exit the practice field following his eye-catching catch. Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reported that Durden suffered a concussion, ruling him out of Saturday's preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Cowboys had high hopes for Durden, who was signed out of West Florida, where he notched up an impressive 1,128 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns during his senior year. Beyond his receiving abilities, Durden had shown his skills as a punt returner, averaging an impressive 17.7 yards per return and even scoring.
Durden's injury is an unfortunate setback for the Cowboys, a team that is no stranger to highs and lows. Despite a strong 12-5 record last season, they found themselves in a fiercely competitive division, where that record didn't guarantee a top spot. The Cowboys, however, showcased their resilience, making it to the NFC Divisional round after a thrilling victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card round.
This latest incident at training camp serves as a stark reminder of the risks and rewards in professional football. A single moment can showcase a player's brilliance, but also bring unforeseen challenges. Fans will certainly be hoping for a speedy recovery for Durden, whose potential has already left a mark. His "play of the day" will be remembered, but now the focus turns to his health and future with the team.
