10/09/2008 - Dallas, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl cornerback Terence Newman may reportedly need surgery for a sports hernia, and could miss six weeks after the procedure.
Newman missed Dallas' win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday with what was originally thought to be an abdominal strain. The Dallas Morning News reported Thursday that the team has sent Newman's MRI results to Dr. William Meyers, a top sports hernia specialist, to be examined.
This has already been an injury-marred campaign for Newman, who missed most of training camp and the season opener with a groin injury.
After missing parts of the first four games last season with a partially torn plantar fascia, Newman recorded 50 tackles and four interceptions, and earned his first career Pro Bowl selection.
Newman, in his sixth year in the league out of Kansas State, has 16 interceptions and one defensive touchdown in 80 career games for the Cowboys.
The 4-1 Cowboys travel to Arizona to take on the 3-2 Cardinals this Sunday. Newman may be sorely missed for a secondary that will try to contain the NFC's top-rated passer -- Kurt Warner -- and his star wideout Larry Fitzgerald, who ranks second in the NFL with 467 yards receiving this season, on 31 catches with four touchdowns.
Adam Jones is expected to replace Newman in the base defense, while rookie Orlando Scandrick will fill in on the nickel package.

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.
New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.
His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.
HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.
The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.
RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.
First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.
The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.
These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.
New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
