The Dallas Cowboys likely will be without starting linebacker Sean Lee for the rest of the season because of a toe injury, a source has confirmed to FoxSports.

Lee still was consulting with a specialist Tuesday evening, but the Cowboys fear he will have to undergo surgery on his right big toe.

ESPNDallas.com was first to report the story Tuesday. A source close to Lee told FoxSports that an MRI test showed Lee suffered a plantar plate tear, and that the undersurface of the toe was completely torn. The injury is similar to what happened to running back Felix Jones in 2008. He missed the rest of that season but was able to make a full recovery and contribute to a playoff run in '09.

Veteran Dan Connor likely will replace Lee in the starting lineup next to Bruce Carter. And the Cowboys probably will look to sign another linebacker in the coming days.

They agreed to terms with safety Charlie Peprah on Tuesday to bolster the back end of the defense. Losing Lee is a major setback as the Cowboys prepare to play games against the Giants, Falcons and Eagles.

Lee, in his third year, had emerged as a team leader, and was on pace to break a team record for tackles.

I know contracts are different now, compared to 10-15 years ago, but fuck. It seems like the Cowboys take people out for months for broken toes, broken fingers, etc... NFL agents AKA lawyers are ruining this sport at the professional level.

I think he is the toughest player on Dallas...this sucks!!

I used to laugh at big bad NFL players who would sit on the bench for a broken toe. Until a few months ago I ran into a brick barefoot and broke the toe next to my pinky. Mother of God, I couldn’t put any weight on that foot for almost two days, walked with a limp favoring it for almost a month, and as I type this it still hurts.
I feel for the guy.
