FRISCO, Texas — In a 2024 season that’s been ruined in large part because of a never-ending tidal wave of injuries, the 5-7 Dallas Cowboys suffered another big blow Thursday. Future Hall of Fame right guard Zack Martin is undergoing season-ending ankle surgery.
Martin, who’s seven first-team All-Pro selections are tied for the most in NFL history for offensive guards, is in the final year of his contract in 2024, his 11th NFL season. He turned 34 years old on Nov. 20, so it’s natural to wonder if this season will be his last. His on-field production has been nothing short of excellent. Martin is a nine-time Pro Bowler who has fewer career holding penalties (six) than he does first-team All-Pro selections (seven).
