The Dallas Cowboys finally got back to being above .500, but it seems they still can’t catch a break from the injury bug. Despite their recent success, the mounting injuries continue to pose a challenge as they navigate through the rest of the season.

According to Todd Archer "Mike McCarthy said Marshawn Kneeland will undergo surgery on Tuesday on his knee. He did not have a timeline but Kneeland is expected to miss 4-6 weeks."

All things considered, the actual injury timeline is good news. Marshawn Kneeland, who was unable to put weight on his knee and had to be carted off the field, initially appeared to be out for the rest of the season.

However, reports now suggest he could return at the latest for Week 11 when the Cowboys' matchup against the Houston Texans.
