Anderson Has Knee Scoped, Will Miss A Couple Of Weeks

Dallas Cowboys fullback Deon Anderson will have his knee scoped on Thursday and will likely miss a couple of weeks.

Anderson missed eight games last season with a torn rotator cuff but has since returned and become a key blocker for Marion Barber as well as contributing on special teams.

Anderson joins linebacker's Kevin Burnett and Anthony Spencer as Cowboys players who have gone under the knife during the past 5 weeks.

Rookie Julius Crosslin, who is on the practice squad, is the only other fullback on the team.

Head coach Wade Phillips didn't sound like he would make a roster move for Crosslin, meaning that tight ends Jason Witten, Tony Curtis and Martellus Bennett will serve as lead blockers.
