Dallas Cowboys

Is surgery in the future for Cowboys rookie Mike Weber and his injured right knee?

The Cowboys got a scare of sorts last Saturday when running back Mike Weber suffered a knee injury in the morning practice of the rookie minicamp.

He underwent an MRI and tests came back negative. Weber even participated some in practice on Sunday, according to a source.

Per sources, the Cowboys are opting for rest and rehab over surgery for Weber’s injured right knee at the moment.

He could need arthroscopic surgery in the future if problems with the knee persist.

Weber, a seventh-round pick from Ohio State, is being targeted as part of a backup tandem with fourth-round pick Tony Pollard behind running back Ezekiel Elliott.
