Dallas, TX - Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Doug Free will likely miss the next 3-to-4 weeks because of a fracture in his foot.

Free was hurt during this past Sunday's game against Seattle and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones revealed the severity the injury Tuesday during his weekly radio spot with KRLD-FM.

"He's dealing with a fracture there that is usually a 3-to-4 week injury," Jones said on the radio program.

Jones did add that Free could return sooner and said Jeremy Parnell would most likely step into the starting lineup.

Free started all six games for the Cowboys this season and has not missed a game since the start of the 2009 campaign.
