The Dallas Cowboys have taken a major hit with potential starting left guard Robert Jones going down with a neck injury on Sunday.

Jones, 26, broke a bone in his neck during a padded practice at training camp in Oxnard, California, on Sunday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, and Jones is expected to miss two to three months. That leaves a gaping hole on the Cowboys’s offensive line for the first six to eight games (out of 17).
