Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has disclosed that he recently underwent “major surgery.”
The 68-year-old Jones tells Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com that the procedure occurred on July 20, and that it was nothing serious or life-threatening.
“The bottom line is I have been kinda easing it around a little bit, but that’s about over with,” Jones said. “With a couple of limitations.”
Jones also explained that he remains fully engaged and committed to the Cowboys. “The age is not the deal,” Jones said. “It’s the energy and the interest. I mean this very much. I have as much passion and energy in what we’re going to do out here in practice [as] I did the first time I went out to Thousand Oaks [in 1989]. I don’t feel a bit different.”
Jones bought the team that same year, promptly laying the foundation to win three Super Bowls in his first seven seasons as owner. Fifteen years after the last one, Jones surely covets the possibility of winning a fourth one in what Emmitt Smith recently called the “State of Dallas.”
