Dallas Cowboys likely to send WR Jonathan Mingo to IR

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jonathan Mingo is likely to start the season on injured reserve because of a sprained posterior cruciate ligament in right knee suffered in last week's preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Mingo is looking at a recovery period of 4-6 weeks, if not longer, according to a source.

Mingo suffered the injury on a 49-yard reception down the sideline in the third quarter. He was targeted on the next play and limped to the sideline before heading to the medical tent. He was immediately ruled out.
