ARLINGTON ? Cowboys safety Barry Church entered this season with high expectations after he had been named one of the team?s starting safeties.
But he won?t play again in 2012 after he tore his right Achilles tendon in the third quarter of Dallas? 16-10 victory over Tampa Bay.
He said he will have surgery Tuesday.
?Over on the sidelines I was kind of in shock,? said Church, who was on crutches after the game. ?Wow, this really happened. Once I sat down, I had a talk with myself and figured you can?t be negative about everything. If you keep being negative, you?ll just become a negative person. I just have to keep positive and see what happens.?
Church has been in this situation before. Church missed the final three games of the 2011 season after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder that had been separated. Last week, he was unable to play in the second half of the Cowboys? loss to Seattle because of a deep quadriceps bruise.
The third-year safety, however, seemed particularly distraught after the last setback. He sat with his head down on the bench and was consoled on the sidelines.
?It?s pretty disappointing,? he said.? ?I have to stay positive.?
