A year after dealing with significant summertime injuries to quarterbacks Tony Romo and Kellen Moore, the Cowboys’ depth chart under center has already taken a hit in 2017 – albeit a minor one. Zac Dysert underwent surgery to fix a herniated disc and is likely to miss the season, reports Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter).
In a best-case scenario, Dallas wouldn’t have needed Dysert this season, as the team’s hope is that starter Dak Prescott and his top backup, Moore, will stay healthy through 2017. But Dysert’s injury leaves only undrafted rookie Cooper Rush behind Moore, which could force the team to search for depth from outside the organization. Dysert’s loss doesn’t exactly deprive the Cowboys of an experienced option, though, considering the 27-year-old has never appeared in a regular-season game.
The Cowboys added Dysert as a waiver claim from the Cardinals in June. The 2013 seventh-round pick from Miami of Ohio has spent time with seven NFL organizations.
Devastating
As a Cowboys fan, I don’t know how we’ll ever get through this difficult time for our team.
He would have never seen the field anyway. If Dak got hurt then Kellen they would have traded for somebody
Or tony romo comes out of broadcasting
Retirement.HaHa
I heard Colin kaepernick is still unemployed
Actually though, I would much rather have Kaep as a backup than Kellen Moore…
And the movie script keeps being written for Johnny Menziel. Jerry finally gets his guy
