Dallas Cowboys star Rob Jones breaks bone in his neck in horrifying injury at practice
But Jones is expected to recover from the shocking injury which, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, occured in a session on Sunday.
The news is a blow for the Cowboys, with Jones working with the starting offensive line so far in the early days of training camp.
He was widely expected to compete with Tyler Booker, who the Cowboys picked in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, for a starting role with the team.
Jones, 26, entered the league as undrafted free agent in 2021 when he was signed by the Miami Dolphins.
He has only been in Dallas since March 11, when the Cowboys signed him to a one-year, $4.75million contract.
The Cowboys are playing in the opening game of the 2025 season in Philadelphia on September 4 against the Super Bowl-winning Eagles.

Watch: US politician mistakes Son Heung-min for an American
Son Heung-min was told he will get the support he needs to help the United States win the World Cup next year, as a Los Angeles councilwoman appeared to mistake the former Tottenham forward for an American. Son, who is a South Korea international, claimed he was 'here to win' as he was unveiled at new club Los Angeles FC after ending a decade-long stint at Spurs. However, confused councilwoman Heather Hunt told the forward that everyone in the city is expecting the US men's national team to win the World Cup next summer, which is being held across America, Mexico and Canada, and that they will help him achieve their dreams. 'When the World Cup comes, we are expecting a win here in LA for the USA,' Hunt, a LA council member, told Son on stage at LAFC's BMO Stadium. 'We are here to support you to get that done.' Son also met LA mayor Karen Bass and city officials amid chants and drumming from the supporters' group 3252 after completing his £20m move to the MLS. 'What can I say, dream come true. LA, what a city,' Son told reporters at his unveiling. Son revealed LAFC was not his initial preference, but credited the club's co-president and general manager John Thorrington with persuading him to make the switch. 'He just changed my mind, heart, he changed my brain. He showed me the destination where I should be and right now I'm here and I'm so, so excited,' said Son, who attended LAFC's 2-1 win over Tigres UANL on Tuesday night. 'I'm here to win, I will perform and I will definitely show you some exciting football, and we will definitely have success,' he said. The move is expected to resonate with LA's sizeable Korean community, with the team's stadium located just south of Koreatown. Son follows in the footsteps of other international stars who have joined LAFC, including Carlos Vela, Giorgio Chiellini, Olivier Giroud, and former Tottenham team-mates Gareth Bale and Hugo Lloris. Son, who joined Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, led the north London club to their first trophy in 17 years with a 1-0 win over Manchester United in the Europa League final in May. The former Spurs captain made 454 appearances for the club and scored 173 goals, winning the Premier League Golden Boot in the 2021-22 season. Reflecting on his departure from Tottenham, Son described the move as 'very emotional'. Tissues at the ready 😭 A final goodbye message from Sonny... — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) August 6, 2025 'I felt like I needed a new chapter, I needed a new challenge and I chose LAFC,' he said. 'I think you could say I'm old but I still have good physicality, good legs, and still have a good quality. 'Obviously I'm here to perform but I also want to give some advice to some young players for improvement. 'I can't wait... Let's do it together and win the trophy.' It was not immediately clear when Son will make his debut for the Black and Gold, who are currently sixth in the Western Conference and travel to face Chicago Fire on Saturday. LAFC's Thorrington called signing Son an 'historic' day for the club. 'Sonny is a world class talent, a global icon of football and we're thrilled that he has chosen to write the next chapter of his remarkable career with us here at LAFC,' he said. Son, capped 134 times by South Korea, joins LAFC after an emotional farewell to Spurs during a friendly against Newcastle United at Seoul World Cup Stadium. 'Sonny has given so much to this club, both on and off the pitch, and for that we are forever grateful,' Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said in a club statement. 'We wish him all the best for the future, and he will always be welcome back as a beloved and cherished member of our Spurs family.'
