BAD NEWS ON Cowboys injuries: Stephon Gilmore, a free agent, leads a trio that requires surgery.

Following the season’s disappointing playoff defeat to Green Bay, three Cowboys players—offensive lineman T.J. Bass, tight end Peyton Hendershot, and cornerback Stephon Gilmore—had surgery. Gilmore is the main focus for two reasons.

PThree Dallas Cowboys are having surgery this offseason in preparation for their 2024 rematch. They come into the season a little bruised.

Hendershot and Bass, as first reported by ESPN, should be prepared to fully engage in The Star’s offseason programme. Gilmore, on the other hand, would likely need four to six months to heal before making his comeback, ideally in time for training camp.

In addition, Gilmore, who turns 34 in September, is set to hit free agency while Hendershot and Bass are still under contract. Even though he started in his one season in Dallas following the shrewd trade that sent him to the Cowboys from the Colts a year prior, his age and the injury cast some doubt on his ability to stay in this city.

Gilmore underwent surgery for a shouder injury, which he bravely endured during the Green Bay game. Despite being young backups, Hendershot (ankle) and Bass (elbow) do play a role in Dallas’ future plans.

Additionally, Emmitt Smith, the Cowboys’ all-time leading rusher, was recently asked this question:

Smith said, “Because I’m not the GM,” on Thursday, Andrew Perloff reported.

In other words, Emmitt isn’t exactly advocating McCarthy’s retention.

Rumours of Bill Belichick’s firing in New England persisted, and in the immediate wake of the Cowboys’ humiliating loss to the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Wildcard game, it appeared as though team owner Jerry Jones would break up with McCarthy.

But when the two met, Jones felt it would be best to bring McCarthy back for what could be his last season in Dallas, as his contract is set to expire, for his fifth season.

FEB. 7 ANOTHER APPETISER By setting up an interview with New York Jets safeties coach Marquand Manuel, the Cowboys have expanded their pool of potential defensive coordinator candidates.

Thursday is Marquand’s interview date, as first reported by ESPN.

The Cowboys have fielded candidates including Mike Zimmer, Ron Rivera, Wink Martindale, and Rex Ryan to succeed Dan Quinn, who left to take a head coaching position with the Commanders.

Along with Manuel, 44, who previously worked for Quinn as an assistant coordinator in Atlanta and was a player for Mike McCarthy’s Packers in the past, all of them have coordinator experience.
