There’s Video of Cowboys Pro Bowl DT Gerald McCoy Suffering His Season Ending Injury During Practice

It took one padded practice for the Dallas Cowboys to suffer a major injury.  Pro Bowl defensive tackle Gerald McCoy suffered a season ending quad injury.

McCoy signed a three-year, $20.25 million deal with the Cowboys this off-season after one season with the Carolina Panthers.

#Cowboys COO Stephen Jones tells reporters that DT Gerald McCoy’s MRI showed a ruptured quad tendon and he’s out for the season. Initial fear had been an ACL, but the MRI delivers bad news, regardless. A major blow.

There's video of McCoy suffering the season ending injury during practice.  It happened during a drill where McCoy was pretending to be an offensive lineman.

Here’s video shot by @CBS11Sports photojournalist Bill Ellis of Gerald McCoy’s season ending ruptured right quadriceps tendon injury suffered in @dallascowboys 1st practice in pads today...maybe @profootballdoc can explain how this happened??? pic.twitter.com/qceuui1r1p

Man that's hard to watch.  Not because it's a gruesome injury or anything, but because it's a freak injury and it doesn't look like anything happened before he dropped to the ground in pain.
