Cowboys right guard Jack Martin’s 2024 season is over.
Head coach Mike McCarthy announced Thursday that Martin will undergo surgery on the ankle injury that sidelined him for the team’s last two games. Martin will now miss the team’s remaining five games this season and face an uncertain future in football.
Martin is in the final year of his contract and he said in June That’s leisure Was in the realm of possibility after the 2024 season. The work needed to recover from season-ending ankle surgery will likely factor into any decision on that front.
If he does, Martin will go down as one of the most accomplished offensive linemen of any era. He was voted first-team All-Pro seven times in his first 10 seasons with the Cowboys, and season No. 11 will mark only the second time he hasn’t started at least 14 of the team’s games.
