Eagles Punter Donnie Jones Knocked Silly After Dallas Blocked a Punt and Scored
By Jason McIntyre
The Philadelphia Eagles lost two defensive starters in the 1st half – Kiko Alonso (knee) and Mychal Kendricks (hamstring) – and they may have just lost their punter, too.
Donnie Jones had his punt blocked early in the 3rd quarter, and was decleated while running to make a tackle. He writhed on the ground in obvious pain afterward. Jeff Heath, the Cowboys safety who blocked Jones, was initially flagged on the play, but the referees picked it up.
It was the first blocked punt-for-TD for the Cowboys in 368 games.
Dallas leads Philadelphia 13-0, and the Eagles have two first downs in the entire game.
