Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has been unable to attend rookie minicamp in person because of a back procedure that took place last week, per ESPN's Todd Archer.

McCarthy has still taken part in the minicamp virtually through Zoom, as rookie linebacker Demarvion Overshown noted.

"He's been on Zoom calls with us," the third-round pick said, per Archer.

"We know what he's going through and that he's going to be back soon. He's definitely been there, welcomed us like we were a vet."

Minicamp started Thursday, with the rookies first getting onto the field Saturday.
