Zusammenfassung:	Surgical constructs, assemblies, and methods for tissue repairs are disclosed. A surgical construct can include a fixation device with a sliding flexible coupler and a covering for the flexible coupler. The covering includes a hollow portion adjacent a tail portion. Limbs of the flexible coupler are secured within the hollow portion. The tail portion of the covering is passed through tissue such that the hollow portion along with the limbs of the sliding flexible coupler are passed through the tissue simultaneously.
