Dak Prescott lands on IR as Cowboys season spirals further

Dak Prescott is headed to injury reserve. The Cowboys quarterback will miss at least four weeks after suffering a partial avulsion of his hamstring during Sunday’s loss to the Falcons. But it’s likely to be much longer than the minimum IR stint. Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones told 105.3 The Fan on Friday that Prescott’s injury could potentially cost him the 2024 season. “I think it’s probably no way he can be back in the four-week timeframe, so we’ll put him over there and we’ll have that roster spot to use in terms of the next four weeks and go from there,” Jones said. “Obviously a tough, tough situation, losing him for that period [of] time, but we’re going to do what’s in the best interest of Dak and right now I don’t think anyone knows whether it’ll be four weeks, six weeks or the season.We’ll just have to continue to monitor that and see where it takes us.”Owner Jerry Jones said Friday that whether or not Prescott will undergo surgery, which would take him out for the season, is still being decided. “He’s got to have some weeks off of it before he can see if it really does require surgery and so he doesn’t want surgery.

He wants to be on the field and going for it,” he said, per ESPN.“And so he’s weighing that, we’re weighing that and we’ll just see how it goes here.”Prescott’s injury adds to what’s been a nightmare season for America’s Team. Heading into Week 10, the Cowboys sit at 3-5, 3 1/2 games back of the first-place Commanders in the NFC East. The Cowboys will welcome the 6-2 Eagles to Dallas on Sunday....
