Cowboys center Matt Hennessy undergoes neck surgery, out for offseason

Dallas Cowboys backup center Matt Hennessy is facing a lengthy recovery after undergoing neck surgery to address a disk issue. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer announced the surgery ahead of the team's Organized Team Activities (OTAs) on June 10, 2026. Hennessy, who joined the Cowboys on a one-year contract this offseason, is expected to start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform List (PUP). The injury raises concerns about Dallas's offensive line depth as they may need to seek external reinforcements if internal options prove insufficient. The Cowboys have experienced similar setbacks in recent seasons with offensive linemen suffering significant injuries shortly after being signed.
