    Cowboys QB will undergo season-ending surgery

    According to reports, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is likely out for the remainder of the 2024 NFL season.

    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday afternoon that Prescott “plans to undergo season-ending surgery” to repair his partially torn hamstring. Dallas and its quarterback are seeking a final opinion from a specialist before making a decision, Schefter said.

    Prescott, 31, suffered his hamstring injury in the closing moments of the third quarter during the Cowboys’ Week 9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

    “It’s something I’ve never felt before,” the quarterback told reporters after the game.

    On Wednesday, ESPN reported that Prescott suffered a partial avulsion of his right hamstring, meaning his hamstring tendon was partially pulled from his bone.

    Prescott’s planned hamstring surgery would require a recovery time of four months. If he were to undergo the procedure now, the veteran quarterback would be done for the season.

    Dak Prescott injury update

    According to multiple reports, Prescott suffered a partial avulsion of his right hamstring last Sunday against the Falcons.

    The Cowboys quarterback told reporters after the game that he hoped to be back for his team’s Week 10 game against the Eagles. However, an MRI on Monday showed the injury was worse than Prescott or the team had initially feared.

    Two days later, news broke about the severity of his injury. The diagnosis of ‘partial avulsion’ means that part of Prescott’s hamstring tendon has torn from the bone and may require surgery to repair.

    However, Dallas did not place its quarterback on injured reserve on Saturday, meaning Prescott will take a roster spot for the Cowboys’ Week 10 matchup with the Eagles. Should the team move the signal caller to IR next week, the earliest he could return would be Dallas’ Dec. 15 game against the Panthers.

    The timing of the move may not matter. If Prescott undergoes his procedure as reports suggest, his season would be over.

    Dak Prescott stats

    Prescott started all eight Cowboys games so far this year. Here’s what his stats looked like through the first eight games of the 2024 NFL season:

    • Completion Rate: 185 of 286 (64.7%)
    • Passing yards: 1,978
    • Recruits per completion: 10.7
    • Passing Touchdowns: 11
    • Interceptions: 8
    • Passer-by assessment: 86.0

    The ninth-year quarterback’s passer rating and yards per completion are both career lows, and his completion percentage this year is his lowest since 2017.

    Cowboys QB Depth Chart

    Dallas has two other quarterbacks behind Prescott on the depth chart.

    Rush, who spent seven years with the Cowboys, is set to make his seventh career start for the team in Week 10 against the Eagles. He last filled in for Prescott in 2022, starting five games as the starter recovered from a broken thumb. Rush went 4-1 in those five starts, with the only loss coming to the Eagles.

    Lance is Dallas’ third quarterback since the team acquired him in 2023. The former 49er, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft, has yet to appear in a regular-season game for the Cowboys.
