Cowboys RG Mackenzy Bernadeau (shoulder surgery) is unsure if he'll participate in OTAs.
Even if Bernadeau misses OTAs, he should be ready for training camp. The 27-year-old's roster spot is safe after restructuring his deal, but he will face competition for the starting right guard spot from Phil Costa and Ronald Leary. May 15 - 8:36 PM

Mackenzy Bernadeau - G - Cowboys

Cowboys RG Mackenzy Bernadeau recently underwent shoulder surgery, but is expected to be "fine" for training camp.

The ailment didn't cost Bernadeau any time in 2012, but it's his third surgery in two years. Bernadeau underwent hip and knee operations last offseason. Bernadeau is coming off a mediocre campaign, but held his own as a run blocker. The Cowboys don't have any better options at right guard.

Mackenzy Bernadeau - G - Cowboys

Cowboys RG Mackenzy Bernadeau triggered an escalator in his contract, raising his 2013 salary from $1.75 million to $2.25 million.

Bernadeau signed a four-year deal with the Cowboys last offseason as a free agent, and he went on to start all 16 games for the first time in his career. Bernadeau, 27, out of small Bentley College, has the ability to play both center and guard. He's much better in the run game than as a pass protector.

Mackenzy Bernadeau - G - Cowboys

Cowboys RG Mackenzy Bernadeau (hip surgery, knee surgery) is expected to see playing time at center when he returns to practice.

Bernadeau was removed from the active/PUP list Saturday, and is among the candidates to replace Phil Costa, who's struggling in training camp. Moving Bernadeau to center would allow the Cowboys to give Ronald Leary an extended look at right guard.

Mackenzy Bernadeau - G - Cowboys

Cowboys RG Mackenzy Bernadeau (hip surgery, knee surgery) has been cleared to practice.

He'll come off the active/PUP list. Bernadeau's status was in the air following May hip surgery and a July knee scope, but barring a setback, he should be ready for Week 1. Although Bernadeau made just one start for the Panthers last season, the Cowboys gave him a four-year, $11 million deal on the second day of free agency. It was one of March's most head-scratching moves.

Mackenzy Bernadeau - G - Cowboys

Already recovering from surgery to repair a tear in his right hip, Cowboys OG Mackenzy Bernadeau recently underwent "minor" knee surgery.

The Cowboys signed Bernadeau to a four-year, $11 million deal in March with designs on starting him at right guard. He opened camp on the PUP list and isn't going to be in position to compete for that job. It's fair to wonder if Dallas signed damaged goods. The Cowboys may turn to UDFA Ronald Leary at right guard.

Mackenzy Bernadeau - G - Cowboys

Cowboys RG Mackenzy Bernadeau (hip surgery) is targeting a return by the middle of training camp.

Bernadeau has yet to begin running, but he has graduated to light workouts and upper-body exercises. Last year's fourth-rounder, David Arkin, is picking up first-team reps in the meantime.

Mackenzy Bernadeau - G - Cowboys

Coach Jason Garrett hinted that RG Mackenzy Bernadeau's hip operation decreases the chances the Cowboys will give him snaps at center.

"We'd be less inclined to play him at a couple of different spots initially because he's losing his offseason work," Garrett said. Bernadeau will miss all of OTAs, and may not be ready by training camp. Given a four-year, $11 million deal in March, Bernadeau is being paid like a starter, but whether he remains penciled in at right guard will depend on how quickly he's able to come back.

Mackenzy Bernadeau - G - Cowboys

Cowboys RG Mackenzy Bernadeau reportedly underwent surgery over the weekend to repair a tear in his right hip.

The Cowboys hope to have him back in 10-12 weeks, leaving his status in question for the beginning of training camp. Bernadeau had been penciled in at right guard. The team has plenty of question marks on the interior, with Nate Livings, David Arkin, Bill Nagy, Kevin Kowalski and even undrafted rookie Ronald Leary vying for playing time.

Mackenzy Bernadeau - G - Cowboys

The injury that has sidelined RG Mackenzy Bernadeau for the Cowboys' offseason conditioning program is a hip flexor.

The team doesn't believe the injury is serious, and is hopeful Bernadeau will be ready for OTAs in a few weeks. "We want to make sure he's healthy before we put him out there," said coach Jason Garrett. OL coach Bill Callahan plans to try Bernadeau at both right guard and center when Dallas opens training camp.

Mackenzy Bernadeau - G - Cowboys

Cowboys RG Mackenzy Bernadeau has been sidelined from offseason activities due to a hip injury.

Bernadeau barely played in Carolina last season, so he shouldn't be nursing an injury incurred in 2011. The extent of his hip problem is unclear. The Cowboys have some concerns on the interior offensive line with both guard spots in transition and underwhelming C Phil Costa coming back. Bernadeau signed a four-year, $11 million deal in March to be the new starting right guard.

Mackenzy Bernadeau - G - Cowboys

Cowboys signed OG Mackenzy Bernadeau, formerly of the Panthers, to a four-year, $11 million contract.

Bernadeau has 20 career starts in four years with the Panthers, but had fallen out of favor by late in the 2010 season. The contract suggests he will get a shot at a starting job. It sounds like new OL coach Bill Callahan saw a few things he liked on film.

Mackenzy Bernadeau - G - Cowboys

Panthers RG Mackenzy Bernadeau revealed Thursday that he's lost his starting job.

Geoff Schwartz will slide inside with second-year player Garry Williams taking over at right tackle until Jeff Otah (knee) returns. The Panthers' O-Line has underperformed this season, and Bernadeau hasn't played as well as he did closing out last season. The switch brings a bigger body inside to help a struggling running game get on track.

Mackenzy Bernadeau - G - Cowboys

Mackenzy Bernadeau is expected to take over for free agent Keydrick Vincent at right guard this season.

A seventh-round pick in 2008, Bernadeau played surprisingly well down the stretch last season after being forced into the lineup by injuries to Jordan Gross and Jeff Otah. The Panthers' ground attack remains in fine shape.

Mackenzy Bernadeau - G - Cowboys

The Panthers will start Mackenzy Bernadeau at left guard for the rest of the season.

Normal starting left guard Travelle Wharton will shift to left tackle to replace Jordan Gross, who is out for the season. Bernadeau was a 2008 seventh-round pick and isn't nearly as powerful as Wharton. Downgrade the Panthers' potent running game a little.
