Cowboys' Zack Martin Out for Season Following Ankle Surgery

The All-Pro guard faces uncertainty about his NFL future as he recovers from his third ankle surgery.

Dallas Cowboys guard Zack Martin will miss the remainder of the 2024 season due to surgery on his right ankle, his third procedure on the same ankle.
Martin, a nine-time Pro Bowler and seven-time All-Pro, had been dealing with multiple injuries throughout the season, including shoulder and back issues.
The 34-year-old is in the final year of his contract and has previously acknowledged that retirement is a possibility after this season.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and head coach Mike McCarthy emphasized that Martin's focus is on recovery, with no immediate decisions about his future being made.
Martin's absence leaves Dallas relying on younger players like Brock Hoffman and T.J. Bass to fill the gap at right guard for the remainder of the season.
