Looney (knee) isn't expected to face a long-term absence after suffering a right knee sprain Sunday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The 30-year-old could be sidelined for Week 5 due to the injury, but he may end up missing only the one contest. Rookie Tyler Biadasz lines up to start at center if/when Looney is ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Giants.
