DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - The Cowboys paid the price for a huge division win on Sunday Night as they lost two key cogs in their secondary.

Confirming what 105.3 The Fan's Mike Fisher had suspected, COO Stephen Jones told the GBag Nation on Monday that safety Barry Church broke his forearm and will miss three to five weeks. The good news for Church is that Jones said because of where the break was they don't expect him to need surgery.

Cornerback Morris Claiborne's injury is more up in the air as Jones said they are still diagnosing how bad his groin is. Speaking at his Monday press conference, head coach Jason Garrett said they are still evaluating Claiborne's groin ailment, but they looking into the possibility that it's a sports hernia injury.

Claiborne said following the game that his groin felt decent and he's able to walk. He said he would be getting an MRI Monday.

Dallas will call on their secondary depth of JJ Wilcox, Jeff Heath and Anthony Brown to help fill in.
