OXNARD, Calif. -- Dallas Cowboys backup quarterback Kellen Moore suffered a broken right leg in Tuesdays practice, which puts even more stress on a position many believed needed help behind Tony Romo already.On what was scheduled to be Moores second-to-last team snap of practice Tuesday, guard Jared Smith was pushed back by defensive lineman Lawrence Okoye and stepped on Moores right ankle as the QB was making a throw to the sideline. Moore remained on the ground for a bit before he was able to limp off. He was helped to a trainers table and later carted to the locker room with an immobilization splint on his right leg.After practice, owner and general manager Jerry Jones said the initial diagnosis was a broken leg, and Moore would get X-rays at a local hospital. Jones was unsure whether Moore would require surgery and how much time he would miss.A source said Moore suffered a broken right fibula and will need surgery. He is looking at a two- to three-month recovery, depending on surgery findings, according to a source.Its regrettable, and well basically just take a look at it and address it there, Jones said. I dont have any comments about what, if anything, well be doing there.With Romos recent injury history, the backup position is ultra-important to the Cowboys. Romo, who turned 36 in April, missed 12 games last season because of a twice-broken left collarbone. He had two back surgeries in 2013. The Cowboys went 1-11 with Brandon Weeden, Matt Cassel and Moore starting games in Romos absence to finish 4-12 last season, their worst finish since a 1-15 mark in 1989.The Cowboys have backed Moore as Romos backup throughout the offseason. He played in three games last season, started the final two and finished with four touchdown passes and six interceptions. In the season-ending loss to the Washington Redskins, he completed 33 of 48 passes for 435 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions.In free agency, the Cowboys did not go after high-priced backups such as Chase Daniel and Colt McCoy, but they met with veteran Matt Moore, who opted to remain with the Miami Dolphins. Last week, Jones said veteran Nick Foles was not an option, mostly because the Cowboys have four quarterbacks on the roster. With Moores injury, that could change.Rookie Dak Prescott took the second-team snaps after Moores injury. The Cowboys selected Prescott in the fourth round of the draft. He was the first quarterback drafted by the Cowboys since 2009.Its an opportunity for me to take more reps, get more snaps, and its something Im going to come in and make sure Im ready for, Prescott said. Im going to go study this film and continue to study it ... and take everything from the film room what Ive learned and take it to the field.Undrafted free agent Jameill Showers is in his second year and has been sharing the third-team work with Prescott.Moore had waited five years to be in a position to be the No. 2 quarterback after a record-setting career at Boise State. He spent four seasons with the Detroit Lions after making the team as an undrafted free agent but did not play in a game. It was his connection with Scott Linehan there that led him to the Cowboys last summer, first on the practice squad and then on the active roster.He spoke over the weekend about the excitement of the opportunity, but now he has to deal with a broken leg.Your heart hurts for him because he just works really hard, tight end Jason Witten said. Hes constantly taking notes. Hes studying. Hes communicating. And at that position -- Ive seen it with Tony for a long time as we came in -- you never know when your [opportunity] is going to happen. Hell continue to fight. Thats what he is. Thats who hes been his whole life. Hell bounce back, Im sure.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report. Rod Gilbert Rangers Jersey . -- The Magic have their first victory of the new year. Wayne Gretzky Rangers Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. http://www.rangershockeyonlineshop.com/kevin-shattenkirk-hockey-jersey/ . - Chris Tierney snapped a tie with a power-play goal late in the third period as the London Knights rallied from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Erie Otters 5-3 in Ontario Hockey League action on Wednesday.

Russell Westbrook tends to have some of his worst offensive games against the Detroit Pistons. If that happens again on Monday night, the Pistons will likely keep their perfect home record intact.Westbrooks 17.3 scoring average in 14 career games against Detroit is his lowest output against any opponent, while his 6.3 assist average ranks as his third lowest. Hes shot 36.3 percent from the field and 23.5 percent from long range in those games.Hes having no trouble scoring against anyone this season. Westbrook racked up 41 points, 16 assists and 12 rebounds on Sunday night but the Thunder fell to Orlando, 119-117, on ex-teammate Serge Ibakas last-second basket.Westbrook now has three triple-doubles this season and 40 for his career.The Thunder (6-4) carry a three-game losing streak into Mondays game, giving up an average of 113.7 points in those games. They lost 112-102 to Toronto and 110-108 to the Los Angeles Clippers prior to Sundays heartbreaker.Coach Billy Donovan has seen some offensive progress.Part of our growth as a basketball team is can we take what the defense is giving us? he said. For example, Toronto made it very clear they were going to load up the point. Weve got to get the ball out there and get it moving. We did a much better job of that (against the Clippers). The ball got driven and they gave us 3s. If you consistently make those shots, then teams have to do something different. Its about these guys getting comfortable making those reads and playing together.The Pistons are making a pit stop at The Palace, where theyre 4-0 this season.dddddddddddd They wrapped up a four-game road swing on Saturday, salvaging the final game of the trip by defeating Denver, 106-95. Detroit hits the road for two more games this week before a four-game homestand.All of Detroits starters reached double figures against the Nuggets and power forward Jon Leuer added a double-double off the bench with 14 points and 10 rebounds.It was big because we hadnt gotten a road win yet, Leuer said. Obviously capping off this road trip with a win is big and will give us some confidence going into the next game.The Pistons had 52 points in the paint, which offset their 22.2 percent shooting on 3-point attempts.Its our fifth game in eight days and I think we held them to 38 percent in the second half on a night where (Nuggets point guard) Emmanuel Mudiay was nailing 3s and they had a lot of things going their way to get right back into the game, Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy said. We were able to grind it out. We got timely baskets when we needed them.Detroit (5-5) has won by double digits in all of its home games as well, while holding opponents under 90 points each time. The Pistons recorded an 88-82 victory over the Thunder last season at The Palace.Pistons center Andre Drummond will carry a streak of five consecutive double-doubles into the contest. Hes averaging 17.2 points and 15.0 rebounds during that span. ' ' '
