Welington Castillo Jersey for the Cowboys' first two games of the season, which will be played against the (home) and the (away).If there's any upside to this news for Quinn, it's the fact that his broken hand will now have some extra time to heal. The former first-round pick on Tuesday and there was no guarantee that he was even going to be ready to play in Week 1.The suspension means that Quinn won't make his debut with the Cowboys until Week 3 against the , which is an added twist, because Quinn spent his 2018 season in Miami for a sixth-round pick in March. Although the suspension will give Quinn's hand some extra time to heal, Kiernan was still upset with the circumstances surrounding the NFL's decision. In a statement on Twitter, Kiernan said he was disgusted with the NFL's "
Lucas Giolito Jersey tone deaf" decision."I am extremely disappointed with the NFL for following through with this suspension," Kiernan wrote. "In life, there are real world instances where the totality of the circumstances must be analyzed. This is one such case. Rob has a medical history with seizures that requires him to take multiple doses of preventive medication daily to regulate them. He was tested on April 2nd under the NFL steroid policy. He failed the test for a substance called probenecid, which is cla sified as a masking agent under the policy."Cowboys coach Jason Garrett didn't when asked about Kiernan's accusations Thursday.

Apparently, Quinn's legal team was able to obtain records that showed doctors at the pharmacy had just filled a prescription containing probenecid just before they filled up Quinn's prescription bottle that contained his seizure medication.Kiernan pointed out that the amount of probenecid in Quinn's system would be the equivalent of finding one altered grain of rice in a bag that contains thousands of regular grains."I've been working with NFL players for 20 years, and I can't think of a situation where I've been personally involved where the league was as tone deaf as it was here," Kiernan wrote. "Now, Rob will be punished for something that would have been impo sible for him to prevent." Although Kiernan felt the arbitrator was
Bruce Rondon Jersey fair during Quinn's appeal, he was not happy with NFL attorney Kevin Manara."The arbitrator gave us a fair hearing, but the strength at which the league argued against Rob was incredibly disappointing," Kiernan wrote. "I was especially disgusted with the actions of Manara both prior to and during the hearing."Kiernan didn't offer any details on his specific i sues with the league's attorney. With the injury to Quinn and the fact that (shoulder)
Joe Crede Jersey is also battling an injury, the Cowboys could be short-handed come Week 1.
