Dak Prescott

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Cowboys QB Dak Prescott will undergo season-ending surgery on his injured hamstring.

This was a distinct possibility given the severity of his hamstring injury, with initial testing suggesting a partial avulsion of his hamstring tendon, meaning it was partially torn off the bone. Prescott will visit one final specialist for a final opinion on the matter better likely electing surgery to address the issue. Surgery would end the veteran quarterback’s season, leaving the Cowboys to ride off into the sunset in a lost year with Cooper Rush under center. Schefter’s report comes less than 10 minutes after the team elected not to place Prescott on injured reserve, which raised so questions regarding his situation. Now we know why as the timing likely was immaterial.
