Stephen Jones says Mike McCarthy has done an ‘outstanding’ job amid Cowboys’ injuries
Associated PressIRVING, Texas — Mike McCarthy’s ability to keep the injury-depleted Dallas Cowboys competitive could factor into whether the team gives him a contract extension. “I think he’s done outstanding,” executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones said Wednesday after the NFL’s winter meetings. “I know our fans and opponents don’t look at everything but we do.” Parsons’ return sparked two straight wins, but Dallas lost 27-20 at home to Cincinnati on Monday night after a critical blunder on special teams following a blocked punt. Asked if a decision on McCarthy’s future has been made, Stephen Jones said: “We’re talking about the next game.” Asked if Bill Belichick was ever a consideration, Jones responded: “We’re worried about the next game.” ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
