SAN DIEGO – Reports have surfaced that the Cowboys could keep strong safety Gerald Sensabaugh and inside linebacker Keith Brooking out of the final two preseason games for precautionary reasons after they suffered shoulder injuries Saturday night.
X-rays were negative on Sensabaugh’s shoulder, but he’s expected to undergo a magnetic resonance imaging test Sunday. Brooking said he could have continued playing had it been a regular season game.
“It’s just a mild shoulder injury,” Brooking said. “If this was the regular season, I’d put a pad on it and keep rolling, but they pulled me considering it’s the preseason.”
Sensabaugh was replaced by rookie Barry Church. Brooking’s replacement was rookie Sean Lee.
