The Dallas Cowboys have not been able to catch a break all season. The bad news continues after the team announced that Pro-Bowl offensive lineman Zack Martin will require season-ending ankle surgery.
“He’s gonna be missed,” said head coach Mike McCarthy. “We’re not gonna replace Zack Martin, by any means. … He brings so much to the team and the team culture. We all recognize what kind of player he’s been here in Dallas, but the type of person he is — people gravitate to him. His leadership, he’ll definitely be missed in that area.”
This season, Martin has played in 10 of the Cowboys’ 12 games, and at 34 years old, these are the kinds of injuries that could ruin a career.
Martin is also just one of the many Cowboys who have been infected with the injury bug this season. Other notable players who have hit the injured reserve include DeMarcus Lawrence, Amani Oruwariye, and Dak Prescott.
It’s one of the many reasons Dallas, at 5-7, seems out of the playoff race in just Week 14.
Zack Martin is As Consistent As It Gets
Throughout his career, Martin has been one of the rare occasions Father Time has struggled to bring him down.
34 may be young in the regular world, but in the NFL, it seems ancient. Despite that, in his 11 years, Martin has racked up nine Pro Bowls and seven All-Pro selections.
The only year he hadn’t gotten at least one in his career was 2020, when he was subjected to just 10 games.
If this were his final season, he would be an easy lock for the Hall of Fame.
