Dallas Cowboys running back Lance Dunbar could miss the rest of the season as he prepares to undergo knee surgery for an injury picked up during his side's 31-24 win over the Oakland Raiders.
Dunbar was pivotal in Thursday's outcome as he notched a career-best 82 rushing yards, which included 12 carries for his side. The running back also produced a timely 45-yard run to help set up a touchdown.
The team's official website announced on Friday that Dunbar would undergo an operation to repair a posterior lateral corner.
It is thought that the Cowboys may now look to using a rotation of either Joseph Randle or Phillip Tanner with DeMarco Murray during Dunbar's absence.
