Head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Monday that Kneeland will undergo surgery on his knee Tuesday and will miss 4-to-6 weeks, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Kneeland was feared to have sustained a torn ACL after leaving early in the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Steelers, but he's since been diagnosed with a partially torn lateral meniscus and will have it repaired Tuesday. With the rookie from Western Michigan sidelined for the immediate future, he will likely be a top candidate to land on injured reserve. Expect Tyrus Wheat and KJ Henry to see increased work in Dallas' edge-rusher corps while Kneeland recovers.
