The Dallas Cowboys will be without linebacker Leighton Vander Esch for at least the next four games.
Head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Thursday that the team placed Vander Esch on injured reserve because of the neck injury he suffered during Sunday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk noted "the team's hope is that he will be able to return from injured reserve before the end of the season."
