Cowboys TE Witten won't need surgery

Jan 22, 2009 - 9:56 PM FORT WORTH, Texas (Ticker) -- Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten, who battled through numerous injuries this past season, will not need offseason surgery.

Witten's agent, Jimmy Sexton, told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that his client won't require surgery and is expected to play in the Pro Bowl on February 8.

Witten, 26, fought through rib, ankle and shoulder injuries but did not miss any time this season. He caught 81 passes for 952 yards and four touchdowns.

A third-round pick in 2003, Witten has missed just one game in his six-year career. That came when he suffered a broken jaw in his rookie season.
