FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys rookie defensive end Marshawn Kneeland escaped a season-ending injury to his right knee, but he will need surgery that could keep him out four to six weeks, according to a source.
An MRI on Monday showed the anterior cruciate ligament remains intact, but he will need arthroscopic surgery for a meniscus tear. If he had suffered a torn ACL, his season would have been over. Provided Kneeland's surgery and rehab go well, he could return in mid-November after a stint on injured reserve.
Despite the good news, it will impact a Cowboys defensive line that could see Micah Parsons miss another week with a high left ankle sprain while DeMarcus Lawrence is on injured reserve with a Lisfranc injury to his right foot and is also looking at a mid-November return.
