This is a big blow to a hyped-up Cowboys defensive line.
That has now occurred and it’s the worst-case scenario for the Cowboys. McCoy has suffered a torn quadricep in his right leg, the team announced, and will undergo season-ending surgery. He will now head to injured reserve, and it’s not yet determined how the team will utilize his vacated seat on the roster.
McCoy joined the Cowboys on a three-year deal worth $18.3 million, a financial nod to how Mike McCarthy plans to utilize him in 2020, which is to say quite a bit.
