Kevin Burnett to have knee surgery

Luckily, he's only having his knee scoped, but he'll be out for a couple of weeks at least.

Linebacker Kevin Burnett will return to Dallas to have arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, according to two sources. The surgery is scheduled for Friday.

Burnett's availability for the Sept. 7 season opener at Cleveland is in question. Normally, players miss three to four weeks to recover from a scope.
