Cowboys' Coach Mike McCarthy to Undergo Surgery, Expected to Coach Sunday's Game

Despite appendicitis surgery, McCarthy plans to lead the Cowboys in their pivotal match against the Eagles.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy is scheduled to undergo surgery for acute appendicitis.
Despite the surgery, McCarthy is expected to be released from the hospital later on Wednesday and anticipates coaching in the game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
McCarthy's absence from Wednesday's practice will be covered by assistant coaches Dan Quinn, Brian Schottenheimer and John Fassel.
The Cowboys are currently on a four-game winning streak and are second in the NFC East with a 9-3 record, trailing the Eagles who have a 10-2 record.
If McCarthy is unable to coach on Sunday, defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, who has previous head coaching experience, could potentially step in.
