McCarthy, 60, experienced abdominal pain Wednesday morning, prompting a consultation with the team's medical staff.
Per a team statement, McCarthy is expected to be released from the hospital later on Wednesday and anticipates guiding the Cowboys (9-3) in their matchup against the NFC East-leading Philadelphia Eagles (10-2) on Sunday night in Arlington, Texas.
"You think that tough Irishman is going to miss this game?" Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn told reporters Wednesday.
Quinn, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and special teams coordinator John Fassel will oversee practice in McCarthy's absence.
McCarthy owns a 164-100-2 coaching record with the Green Bay Packers (2006-2018) and Cowboys (2020-present).
