Cowboys' David Durden: Torn ACL feared
Rotowire
Durden (knee) suffered a non-contact knee injury during Wednesday's practice, and there is concern he may have suffered a torn ACL, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Durden was carted off the practice field with a knee injury Wednesday, and the wideout will undergo an MRI on Thursday to determine the severity of the issue. Gehlken reports that multiple people familiar with the situation are concerned that Durden's ACL may not be intact. The 24-year-old has impressed as an undrafted free agent rookie in camp thus far. A serious knee injury would be a major blow for Durden, as the receiver seemed like a good bet to make the Cowboys' practice squad to start the season at the very least.

Rotowire
Durden was carted off the field with an apparent leg injury while doing 1-on-1 work in training camp Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Durden suffered a concussion earlier in camp but had shown enough improvement from that issue to participate in 1-on-1 drills. However, he's now dealing with a leg injury that appears to be serious given the need for him to be carted off the field. Durden has been competing for a depth role at wide receiver after signing with Dallas as an undrafted free agent in May.

Cowboys' David Durden: In concussion protocol
Rotowire
Durden will not suit up for Saturday's preseason-opening matchup with the Jaguars due to a concussion, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Durden presumably suffered the concussion recently at practice. The undrafted free agent is competing against a plethora of pass catchers in an already crowded Cowboys wide receiver room, so his absence is not advantageous for his chances going forward. He will need to clear the league's concussion protocols before getting the opportunity to suit up for any game going forward.
