Cowboys TE Blake Jarwin had hip surgery in late February that's "very uncommon for an active NFL player," a source tells The Athletic's Michael Gehlken. "He is not expected to be available for the start of the 2022 season, clouding his Cowboys future," Gehlken adds. Jarwin tore his ACL in September 2020. He was ready for the start of the 2021 campaign but went down with a hip injury in Week 8 that ended his season. We'll monitor his rehab this offseason, but he's not worth a pick in early best-ball drafts. Jarwin's situation probably makes it more likely that Dallas does what it has to do to bring back impending free-agent TE Dalton Schultz.
