Dallas Cowboys All-Pro guard Zack Martin will miss the remainder of the 2024 season after electing to undergo surgery for an ankle injury. Martin, a cornerstone of the Cowboys’ offensive line, has been battling the injury throughout the season, but the decision to prioritize long-term health was made after consultation with medical staff.
This is a significant blow to Dallas, as Martin’s presence has been pivotal in both pass protection and run blocking. The Cowboys will now rely on backups to step up in his absence as they push for a playoff run.

00:00Dallas Cowboys guard Zach Martin has been nominated for the Walter Payton Man of the
00:09Year award, but will also undergo season-ending ankle surgery, and he won't play another
00:14down this season.
00:15The Cowboys were hoping to get him back in time for the Monday night football game against
00:19the Bengals, but his two-and-a-half-week rehab period just didn't quite pan out the way
00:25that Dallas had hoped.
00:27He's gonna be missed, head coach Mike McCarthy said.
00:29We're not gonna replace Zach Martin by any means.
00:32He has been here in Dallas for his whole career, but what he gives us as a person, he makes
00:38people gravitate to him, and he does a really good job of bringing people together.
00:43A first-round pick in 2014, nine Pro Bowls, and seven first-team All-Pro selections, McCarthy
00:49said it's his leadership that they will miss the most.
