Dak Prescott's Season Ends with Surgery Following Hamstring Injury
Dak Prescott’s season has officially come to an end after the Dallas Cowboys quarterback was placed on injured reserve due to a partially torn hamstring. Prescott suffered the injury during the Cowboys’ 27-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9. Initially, he was expected to miss several weeks, but after consulting with specialists, the decision was made for Prescott to undergo season-ending surgery.
Jerry Jones, the Cowboys’ owner, confirmed on his radio show that Prescott’s surgery would take place on Wednesday in New York. Following the procedure, Prescott will focus on recovery, anticipating at least a three-month rehabilitation period. In the meantime, the Cowboys struggle with a 3-6 record, sitting third in the NFC East, as they look to move forward with backup quarterbacks Cooper Rush and potentially Trey Lance.
This injury marks the second time in five seasons that Prescott has missed a significant portion of the season due to injury, having previously suffered a serious ankle fracture in 2020. His performance this year was less than stellar, with 1,978 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in just eight games.
The Cowboys have faced a tumultuous season, compounded by multiple player injuries and off-field challenges, including an unprecedented case of a player missing practice due to jury duty. Coach Mike McCarthy and the team remain hopeful about addressing their current woes as they prepare for their upcoming match against the Houston Texans.
