The Cowboys kicked off their offseason rookie minicamp on Thursday without Mike McCarthy after the head coach underwent a back procedure last week, ESPN’s Todd Archer reported Saturday.
McCarthy, 59, has been away from the team since his surgery, and participated in virtual meetings over the first two days of camp, per Archer. The veteran coach’s procedure reportedly aimed to address back issues he has dealt with over the years.
It’s unknown at this time how long McCarthy’s hiatus will last, but the team is currently not expecting it be a long absence, according to ESPN.
