Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is likely facing a season-ending setback. According to multiple reports, Prescott, 31, plans to undergo surgery to address a partially torn hamstring he suffered during last Sunday’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The Cowboys have indicated they intend to place him on injured reserve this week.
However, Prescott’s decision isn’t final yet; he’s scheduled to meet with an additional specialist in New York for a second opinion, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Still, surgery appears probable, which would sideline him for a minimum of four months and likely end his season.
Before the injury, Prescott had amassed 1,978 passing yards and 11 touchdowns over the season’s first eight games. His absence marks another blow for the struggling Cowboys, who hold a 3-5 record and rank third in the NFC East. Alongside Prescott, the Cowboys are also missing cornerback DaRon Bland (foot), while linebacker Micah Parsons (ankle) and cornerback Trevon Diggs (calf) remain questionable for Week 10’s matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who sustained a shoulder injury in last week’s game, is expected to play through his injury and return to the field for Dallas.
