Dallas head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Liufau will miss “weeks,” while owner Jerry Jones said Liufau could be back “quickly,” according to ESPN.

“Losing Marist as a football player is tough,” Schottenheimer said. “Unfortunately, it’s part of the business. You guys all know him and the way he’ll attack his rehab, and so we’ll get surgery done as soon as we can and next man up. But yeah, he was a critical, critical part of not just two or three special teams, really all four. He’s a ‘four-core’ guy that you just rely on and he plays the game with violence and we have some other guys in that locker room that do that as well.”
