By Mike Fisher | @fishsports

OXNARD (CBSDFW) — Cowboys defensive lineman Kenneth Boatright "should be OK," reports his agent Brett Tessler, tweeting that Boatright was "fortunately ... taken to the hospital (Thursday) night mostly as a precaution."

Boatright was hurt during Thursday's practice during one-on-one drills while working against Tyron Smith and seemed to sustain a neck injury.

Medical personnel strapped down Boatright, lifted him onto a stretcher, and then transported him by ambulance to the hospital. The backup lineman, 25, was moving his extremities during this process.
