Irvin arrives home
optimistic of returi
IRVIN
IRVING (AP) — Wearing a
protective collar around his
sore neck, Michael Irvin flew
home yesterday
to await until
further examina
tions that will
determine the
severity of his
injury.
Early indica
tions suggest the
Dallas Cowboys
receiver will
recover from a swollen spinal
cord and herniated disc suffered
early in Sunday’s 13-10 loss to the
Philadelphia Eagles and will play
again this season.
When that will be remains
unknown.
“It’s really too hard to tell how
long he’s going to be out right
now,” trainer Jim Maurer said.
“We’re optimistic that Mike will
be back this year.”
Irvin, who is taking medicine
to reduce the swelling, will see a
Dallas-area spine specialist
tomorrow. An MRI will be taken
and compared to one made hours
after the injury. How much has
changed will determine the next
step in his treatment.
Exams Sunday showed
swelling in the spinal cord in two
places near the base of the skull.
Maurer said he does not expect
the new pictures to show any fur
ther damage that may have been
obscured by the initial swelling.
“I think they got a pretty good
picture of everything he
incurred,” Maurer said.
The trainer admitted yesterday
that Irvin lost some feeling imme
diately after the injury.
“He had some limitations on
the field,” Maurer said. “He did
n’t have full motor function and
he had pain in his neck.”
Irvin was able to move his
hands and feet within 15 min
utes, much to the relief of his ter
rified teammates. He was then
strapped to a stretcher and taken
to the spinal unit at Thomas
Jefferson Hospital, where he
spent the night.
By yesterday morning, Irvin
had regained full use of his
functions — the most encot
ing sign yet.
“That’s one of the reason!;
being released as early as to:
Maurer said.
Irvin, 33, has been a);
leader for Dallas on and ot
field since joining the tear.
1988. He has not missed af

Emmitt Smith’s rookie seas®
“Michael has been a
player for this organization^
long time,” said quarterback
Aikman, who has won tk
Super Bowls with Irvin,
made a lot of big plays inaH
big games.
“We’re going to miss hisp
ence and we’ll miss his comp
live spirit. Hopefully it’ll onl'
two weeks.”
That is a highly optimistic'’
considering Maurer said Ini
likely to be in the neck
about a week as he deals''
soreness and stiffness. Theti^
said he would not specif
whether surgery was an optic
“You’ve got to let all the’
tors come into focus,” he
“Let’s see how he responds®
the next few days and the®
few weeks.”
Irvin was injured while tni
to shake a tackle from Bot
Taylor at the end of an 8f
gain with 5:16 left in the &
quarter. The damage occurK
when safety Tim Hauck hit In'-[
on the head as he went down.
Hauck’s shoulder pad collid
with the side of Irvin’s helmet
was a clean hit, but it twist*
Irvin’s head awkwardly as
slammed to the hard artificial I®
