An initial knee scope on Monday showed that Anthony Hitchens had suffered a tibial plateau fracture of his knee in the game against the Raiders.
A subsequent MRI, the results of which became public today, confirmed the initial diagnosis, but also showed that Hitchens had suffered zero ligament damage, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports.
With the positive news, Nick Eatman of DallasCowboys.com suggests the Cowboys might not even put Hitchens on injured reserve, as had been widely speculated.
MRI results did not show any ligament damage, meaning it’s unlikely the team will place him on an eight-week IR list.
