The Dallas Cowboys might not be without their rising star at free safety as long as they originally thought. According to DallasCowboys.com’s Bryan Broaddus, Xavier Woods could only miss this Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins.

They gave him a physical and didn’t sign so that tells me a little something. Xavier Woods is not going to be out 4-6 weeks. Might miss one game… https://t.co/EFcpjlZnPH

Woods suffered a high ankle sprain this past Sunday against the Washington Redskins that was supposed to keep him out 4-6 weeks. If he is only out one game that would be amazing news for the Cowboys with the toughest part of their schedule coming up. Safety Darian Thompson is set to start this Sunday opposite Jeff Heath in place of Woods, with rookie Donovan Wilson and Kavon Frazier also their for insurance. Will Xavier Woods be back against the New Orleans Saints next week? Something to keep an eye on. More details to come.
