Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy underwent surgery for acute appendicitis on December 6, 2023. He experienced abdominal pain that morning, leading to his hospitalization and subsequent diagnosis.
The surgery was successful, and McCarthy was released from the hospital later that day. He anticipated returning to coach the Cowboys in their upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
In his absence, defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, and special teams coordinator John Fassel managed team practices. Quinn, who has previous head coaching experience, temporarily assumed McCarthy’s duties during this period.
McCarthy’s hospitalization marked his second surgery in 2023, following a minor back procedure earlier in the year. Despite these health challenges, he remained committed to leading the team through the season.
