Rookie receiver L'Damian Washington injured his shoulder during Thursday's practice. The Cowboys fear Washington separated his AC joint, according to a source.

Washington wouldn't say much about the injury when reached on his cell phone, revealing only that he was still waiting on MRI results. He is wearing a sling.
