Felix Jones done for the year

The Cowboys running game just took a huge hit with rookie Felix Jones being put on IR, finishing his season. Jones will have surgery to repair a torn ligament underneath his left big toe.
A date has yet to be set for the operation, which will be performed by Dr. Robert Anderson, a foot and ankle specialist in Charlotte, N.C. Jones, the No. 22 overall pick in the draft, provided a big-play complement to Marion Barber and showed flashes of brilliance in his six games. He had 266 yards on 30 carries (8.9 yards per carry) and scored four touchdowns, including a kickoff return.
Jones suffered a partially torn hamstring on a 14-yard run in the loss to the Cardinals and hasn't played since. Jones gave the Cowboys the big-play potential from the running back spot and was also being counted on to take a few carries a game away and provide a drastic change of pace from Marion Barber. This one hurts.

Yes it does,
I saw Botox Jerry said some of the Pacman debacle was his fault, or it was the security he hired was at fault.
