Posted by Matt Loede on July 23rd, 2007 filed in News

Bad news for Cowboys right tackle Marc Colombo, as he underwent arthroscopic knee surgery two weeks ago and sources say he will not practice when training camp opens. Colombo, is 6-foot-8, 315 pounds, re-signed with Dallas early this offseason after playing his first three seasons with the Bears. He has a history of knee troubles that threatened his career while in Chicago. Colombo started all 16 games last season for Dallas, and word is the Cowboys will play it safe with him and not push him too hard before he can go full speed in camp.
