Cowboys’ James Washington Suffers Broken Foot, per Report
The Cowboys will be without wide receiver James Washington for six to 10 weeks after he suffered a fractured right foot Monday at training camp in Oxnard, Calif., according to ESPN’s Todd Archer.
Washington was carted off the field after going up to catch a downfield pass, landing hard and hopping on one leg. He ultimately fell back on the ground to receive medical attention.
The 26-year-old Washington is scheduled to undergo surgery on Tuesday in Dallas, Archer reported.
Washington joined Dallas this offseason after signing a one-year contract. He spent his first four NFL seasons with the Steelers after being selected in the second round of the 2018 draft.
Washington caught 24 passes for 285 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games last season. His most productive season came in 2019, when he recorded 44 receptions for 735 yards and three touchdowns.
Washington was acquired to help Dallas offset the departures of receivers Amari Cooper, Cedrick Wilson Jr. and Malik Turner. Another Cowboys wideout, Michael Gallup, is currently on the physically unable to perform list, leaving Dallas thin at the position for the moment.
