Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick will have to manage an injured left foot through the remainder of the season.

According to Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Scandrick is dealing with plantar fasciitis that has limited his availability recently.

Scandrick was relegated to only playing in nickel situations against the Minnesota Vikings last Thursday. He played just 54 out of 74 snaps against the Vikings as Anthony Brown started in his place opposite Brandon Carr.

“It’s very frustrating,” Scandrick said. “But there is nothing I can do. I doubt it gets better until the off-season. The only treatment is rest. And I can’t get that at this time. It’s not a long-term health issue. But it’s unfortunate. I knew the first year back (from last year’s ACL injury) would be difficult and things like this would pop up. I’ve just got to get through this season.”

Despite the limited snaps, Scandrick had a season-high seven tackles against Minnesota.

If the Cowboys can lock up the No. 1 seed in the NFC, Scandrick may be able to get the rest he needs to improve the issue for the postseason run. Dallas has a 2.5 game lead over Seattle in the race for the top seed. It could give Scandrick as many as three weeks off to rest his foot before the Cowboys begin preparation for their Divisional Round matchup.
