SAN ANTONIO – The Dallas Cowboys likely will have to wait until next season to find out if Lance Dunbar can duplicate the scintillating performance he put together Thursday.
According to the team’s web site, the club is fearful that Dunbar will be out for the rest of the season after injurying his left knee in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys’ 31-24 win over Oakland.
The North Texas alumnus is expected to undergo surgery, DallasCowboys.com reported.
The diminutive running back rushed for 82 yards on 12 carries. He also caught one pass for 12 yards.
Dunbar didn’t get his first carry in the Thanksgiving Day game until the third quarter.
On his second attempt, he dashed 45 yards to the Oakland 45-yard line, a career-best jaunt that set up a touchdown.
But late in the fourth quarter, Dunbar went down when blitzing Raiders cornerback Tracy Porter hit him in the backfield for a 5-yard loss. Dunbar walked off the field under his own power and later told reporters in the locker room he thought he would be “all right” and would be ready to play against the Bears in Chicago on Dec. 9.
Owner Jerry Jones added to the optimistic outlook by calling Dunbar’s injury a hyper-extension, but an MRI on Friday revealed something much more serious.
