Just five days before the key game that the Dallas Cowboys will play at home against the Philadelphia Eagles, and that could define the course of the NFC East, the team’s coach, Mike McCarthy, will undergo surgery for a case of acute appendicitis .
McCarthy began to experience abdominal pain this Wednesday morning, a situation for which he decided to go to the team’s medical staff. The Dallas coach is expected to leave the hospital this Wednesday afternoon and coach on Sunday at AT&T Stadium.
In McCarthy’s absence, Dallas offensive coordinator Brian Shottenheimer and Dan Quinn, the team’s defensive coordinator, will be in charge of running the team’s practice until the 60-year-old coach recovers.
“Do you really think that tough Irishman is going to miss this game?” defensive coordinator Dan Quinn said Wednesday. “We certainly anticipate that Mike will be back for the game. We’ll hold him down for practice. Knowing him, he’ll be in line tonight wanting to go through the red zone and third down and everything in between. We hope he’s rocking. for game day.”

In case McCarthy cannot be for this Sunday’s game, Dan Quinn could be chosen to coach in the duel against Philadelphia, something he already did in 2021 after the Dallas coach tested positive for COVID and missed the game against the New Orleans Saints. Dallas won 27-17.
Quinn has a 47-44 record in his career, this after having his first experience as a head coach with the Atlanta Falcons, whom he led to Super Bowl LI, which they lost to the New England Patriots, despite winning for 25 points.
