Dallas placed Kneeland (knee) on its injured reserve list Wednesday. It was already established after Kneeland was diagnosed with a partially torn lateral meniscus Monday that he would have to sit out at least four games, so his move to injured reserve isn't a surprise. Carl Lawson and Tyrus Wheat figure to be the primary beneficiaries of Kneeland's extended absence in terms of playing time.

Marshawn Kneeland Latest News
Officially goes to IR
Dallas placed Kneeland (knee) on its injured reserve list Wednesday. It was already established after Kneeland was diagnosed with a partially torn lateral meniscus Monday that he would have to sit out at least four games, so his move to injured reserve isn't a surprise. Carl Lawson and Tyrus Wheat figure to be the primary beneficiaries of Kneeland's extended absence in terms of playing time.
Missing four-to-six weeks
Head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Monday that Kneeland will undergo surgery on his knee Tuesday and will miss four-to-six 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.
Avoids torn ACL
Kneeland was diagnosed with a partially-torn lateral meniscus after an MRI on Monday and is expected to return to action this season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. It's actually quite good news for Kneeland, who was feared to have torn his ACL during Sunday's win at Pittsburgh. He'll still have to miss some time though, and Carl Lawson figures to see an uptick in playing time in that case.
Undergoes imaging
Kneeland (knee) is waiting for MRI results Monday to determine the severity of the injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Steelers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports. Kneeland was carted to the locker room in the first quarter after suffering the injury and was unable to return. With Dallas already down DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) and possibly Micah Parsons (ankle) for Week 6, any missed time for the Western Michigan product could be a significant blow to the Cowboys' defensive front.
Done for night
Kneeland (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest with the Steelers, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. Kneeland went down with a knee injury in the first quarter, ultimately requiring a cart to get to the locker room. The Cowboys will now turn to Carl Lawson and Tyrus Wheat to replace Kneeland on the defensive line versus Pittsburgh.
Suffers knee injury
Kneeland (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Steelers, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. Kneeland suffered a knee injury on the Steelers' first possession of the game, putting his status for the rest of the contest in question. Kneeland stepped into a starting role in Week 5 with Micah Parsons (ankle) unavailable and Carl Lawson may be the next man up in Kneeland's absence.
Cleared to play Sunday
Kneeland (calf) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against New Orleans and is expected to play, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Kneeland progressed throughout the practice week, going from a DNP on Wednesday to limited Thursday and then full Friday. He recorded three tackles (two solo) and a pair of QB hits in the Week 1 win over the Browns while playing 58 percent of the Cowboys' defensive snaps.
Practices Thursday
Kneeland (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports. Kneeland opened the week as a DNP on Wednesday due to a calf issue, but he was able to participate in a restricted capacity Thursday. His participation during Friday's practice will provide clarity on his status ahead of Sunday's game against New Orleans. The rookie second-round pick registered three tackles (two solo) and one pass defended in the Cowboys' Week 1 victory over the Browns.
Logs DNP
Kneeland (calf) did not practice Wednesday, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports. Kneedland played 42 defensive snaps in his NFL debut Week 1 against the Browns. However, it appears the rookie picked up an injury along the way that will keep him sidelined Sunday. He'll work to get back on the practice field Thursday or Friday, as the team preps for Sunday's game against the Saints.
