Archer: Raymond Radway suffers broken fibula, tibia


Raymond Radway suffers broken fibula, tibia
September, 1, 2011

By Todd Archer

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Raymond Radway was perhaps three seconds away from making the Cowboys’ 53-man roster.

Radway, the undrafted rookie wide receiver from McKinney, suffered a broken left fibula and tibia and will have surgery immediately after the team returns to Dallas. He will have a rod inserted to stabilize the bones.

“He was legitimately in the mix, very much in the mix,” owner and general manager Jerry Jones said. “After he caught the big pass over the middle, I said I don’t think we can take the chance. It’s really a shame that that happened. His career from a practical standpoint is not over, but what a disappointment for him.”

Radway suffered the injury leaping for a pass in the end zone. He finished with three catches for 62 yards.

“What a good kid and only three seconds on the clock,” quarterback Stephen McGee said. “He made some outstanding plays and that’s just a tough thing to see. I cried on the inside for him. That’s just a difficult thing to accept, but he’ll be back though.”

Honestly, it's probably a blessing in disguise.

He wouldn't have been a contributor this year anyway, and this gives him an opportunity to collect a paycheck all year, while rehabbing, studying, and improving his game.

He'll have a tough recovery, hopefully its a clean break and it heals 100% in time for next year's camp.

Kid has some talent and alot of upside.

I just hope this injury doesn't scare this kid in doing what he was doing last night.

Call me crazy, but he was jumping pretty high for those catches. A little Lynn Swan in him.

You don't see that too much anymore.

I bet Manny Johnson, Jesse Holley, & Dwayne Harris fistbumped after hearing about the injury.

Tremendous upside. Hopefully he puts what he can of this season to use.

I cried on the inside when I heard the news. Like the baby boomers remembering when JFK got shot, I will always remember the day Radway broke his tibula and fibula. 3 seconds remaining...3 seconds remaining...
