Dallas Cowboys defensive end Jeremy Mincey underwent surgery to remove bone chips in his right elbow.
Mincey, who was limited throughout the 2015 season because of elbow issues, made the announcement Tuesday night on Twitter and Instagram.
“Glory to God My Surgery went Well,” Mincey wrote. “I pray He heals me Fully so I can do some real damage this year. #Hungry. #iknowwhaticando. … trust that! On the 11th NFL Season with something to prove. #MMP #NoexcuseGrindTime.”
Mincey also had arthroscopic surgery on the same elbow last offseason. After a team-high six sacks in 2014, Mincey failed to record a sack in 2015, recording only 19 tackles in 14 games because he was not able to fully extend his arm.
The 32-year-old Mincey enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.
“Whoever gives me the opportunity will have a very hungry player and will have a very smart player,” Mincey told the Dallas Morning News heading into the final week of the season. “They are going to have a very well-rounded player. I have plenty years left. I am full of energy. I plan on getting my elbow scoped where I can use it and get it straightened out where I can function.”
