G Nate Livings, TE John Phillips Have Surgery

Livings was dealing with a knee issue, while Phillips had a problem with his ankle

According to a report in the Dallas Morning News, outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware will not need elbow surgery after all, but a pair of Cowboys have gone under the knife in the past few weeks.

Guard Nate Livings underwent a procedure on his knee, while John Phillips, a soon-to-be free agent tight end got work done on his ankle.

Earlier this offseason, having already undergone surgery to repair a torn labrum, Ware told reporters that he may require elbow surgery to clean up some floating bone spurs. But as it turns out, that won’t be necessary.

β€œWe felt good about that,” said Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett, per the Morning News. β€œIt certainly was a good outcome for us and it seems like he’s getting better and better.”
