Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is likely done for the season.
According to multiple reports, Prescott plans to undergo season-ending surgery to repair his partially torn hamstring. The 31-year-old QB suffered the hamstring injury in last Sunday’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons, with the Cowboys saying they planned to place Prescott on injured reserve this week.
The decision to undergo surgery is not yet final: Prescott will fly to New York to seek the opinion of another specialist, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Most likely, Prescott’s season is over, however, as the surgery would sideline him for at least four months.
Prior to the injury, Prescott had thrown for 1,978 yards and 11 touchdowns with eight interceptions through the first eight games of the season.
Prescott would be the latest injury blow for the struggling Cowboys, who are 3-5 so far this season and third in the NFC East. In addition to their QB1, Dallas is also missing cornerback DaRon Bland (foot), with players like edge rusher Micah Parsons (ankle) and cornerback Trevon Diggs (calf) questionable for Sunday’s Week 10 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who banged his shoulder last week, is expected to return for Dallas and play through the injury.
