IRVING, Texas (AP) – Dallas defensive end Anthony Spencer’s recovery from microfracture surgery on his left knee is coming along well enough for him to start the season on the active roster.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday that Spencer wouldn’t be ready for the Sept. 7 opener against San Francisco, but would avoid a six-week stay on the physically unable to perform list.
The 30-year-old Spencer said he hopes to return to practice within two weeks, but can’t say when he’ll be ready for a game.
Spencer dealt with a nagging knee issue throughout the offseason last year and skipped the opener before playing in Kansas City. When swelling and soreness persisted, he opted for microfracture surgery last October.
