The Cowboys raised some eyebrows this offseason when they gave little known backup offensive lineman Mackenzy Bernadeau, formerly of the Carolina Panthers, a contract normally reserved for starters this offseason to potentially fill their hole at guard. Bernadeau would not be without competition however and now it appears that competition will be even tougher for Bernadeau, after he had hip surgery.

The timeline for recovery is about 10-12 weeks which means he could miss at least some of training camp, never a good thing for someone competing for a starting job. Other options at the position include Bill Nagy and David Arkin, two unproven 2^nd year players. With tried and failed starter Nate Livings at the other guard position, they could once again have one of the worst interior lines in football, unless, once course, Livings proves that his play in Cincinnati over the last couple years was not who he really is as a player.
