McCarthy has back surgery, not at rookie camp

[unionjack8]

Lazy attitude

 

[Staubacher]

Garrett's available.

Bring him back with Zeke.

 

[lkelly]

It's common knowledge that people with large cup sizes often have back problems.

 

[ShortRound]

Well I hope the coach recovers quickly.

 

[pitt33]

Honestly though, how about a shout out for McCarthy's back? Talk about a tough gig.

And let’s not forget about his knees

 

[rags747]

Being 60lbs overweight certainly puts those vertebrae to the test!

 

[Rayman70]

Must have herniated a disc lifting that Whataburger repeatedly.

 

[cowboyec]

cleaning up the mess garrett made takes a toll.

 

[Motorola]

Couldn’t have done that a month ago?

Visits by the prospects, shoring up the draft board during the last few weeks --- head coach wanted to be in on those proceedings.
Rookie camp and the first few OTAs can be run by the rest of the coaching staff under DC Quinn.

So either Dan Quinn or Jerry are leading things this weekend.

Quinn

I hope this doesn't end up being a problem. Mike came in looking kinda fit last year. Now he looks like a lard butt again... Just hope it doesn't impact his coaching.

 

[fivetwos]

Maybe it was not an issue or as bad back then. Tried other methods first.

It’s peculiar considering all the down time there is this time of year. It’s not life threatening.

 

[fivetwos]

What am I psychic? I have to wait for it to actually happen before posting.

You’re actually fairly accurate in predicting the future when it comes to this team.

When you’re as fat as he is this is inevitable. It’s one of those preventable injuries if you care about your body and health.

That’s fair. I’m not trying to say it’s some huge problem, there’s just plenty of dates open this time of year.

 

[gimmesix]

As long as he's at home scribbling down plays and cackling madly, I'm OK with it.

 

[Hadenough]

Dak broke McCarthys back!

 

[rambo2]

When they wrap up the back they have a lot of work to do in the front.

They are related.

 

[rambo2]

Is this an injury we can overcome this season?

You better hope so. Hopefully, everything went well.

Cowboys OTA schedule is May 22-23, May 25, May 30, June 1-2, June 13-15
Mandatory minicamp June 6-8.
Then - everyone takes a "summer break" until training camp starts around the third week of July.
My thinking is - McCarthy's procedure done now...he has a few weeks to recover \ rehab to make it back to the mandatory minicamp...or up two a couple of months before training camp, if he needs the extra time.
