FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy underwent successful surgery Wednesday -- five days before the biggest game of the regular season against the Philadelphia Eagles -- after being diagnosed with an acute case of appendicitis, the team said.

McCarthy experienced abdominal pain Wednesday morning before seeing the team's medical staff. He had the procedure, is expected to be released from the hospital later Wednesday and anticipates coaching Sunday.
