"We had just completely left it up to how he was evolving but of course it's such a very significant loss for us," owner and general manager Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas on Tuesday.
Vander Esch has 35 tackles, one tackle for loss, two quarterback pressures and a fumble recovery that he returned for a touchdown in five games.
He had a fusion procedure following that season and managed to play 41 of 51 games, missing time with a broken collarbone (2020), ankle (2020) and neck (2021) injuries. He missed the final four games last year with a stinger but came back to play in both playoff contests.
