Cowboys' Scandrick has 8 stitches in hand; expects to play Monday

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick expects to be out on the field for the team's Monday night game against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3, according to Jane Slater of NFL Network.

Scandrick told Slater he has eight stitches and it's the seventh surgery he's had on the hand.

He said it was the easiest one yet.

Scandrick suffered a fracture to his hand following the team's Week 1 victory over the New York Giants. Originally expected to miss a couple weeks, a Monday night return would be right on schedule.
