Some bad news hit the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday.

In their 13-10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, the team also saw one of tight ends leave the field with an apparent foot injury. As it now turns out, the diagnosis is much worse than the Cowboys would have hoped, and it'll have Connor Hamlett sidelined for a long time to come.

It's unknown what the specific timeline for recovery will be, but with Hamlett already being essentially buried deep on the depth chart -- it could end his season with the Cowboys, if nothing else. Currently listed as the fifth TE behind Jason Witten, Geoff Swaim, Rico Gathers and and James Hanna, Hamlett also found himself duking it out with rookie Blake Jarwin for a shot at the final roster.

The 25-year-old was signed to a futures deal with the team in January of this year, having impressed the Cowboys enough to give him a look this preseason, but an injury of this nature again puts his football future in jeopardy.

And it's all made worse by the fact it happened two plays before the clock hit all zeroes.
