Cowboys HC Jason Garrett confirmed that Witten suffered a lacerated spleen in Monday night’s game against the Raiders. He called the injury "very serious." Witten has been instructed to be "still and idle" for the next 8-10 days. He’ll be re-evaluated at that time. For now, doctors don’t believe he’ll need surgery. Consider Witten week-to-week for now. We should get a better idea about his return date after those 8-10 days have passed. We’re tentatively expecting him to be ready for Week 1, but the injury makes him a riskier fantasy pick.
