Well ladies and gentlemen, it was fun. The inevitable is here, and the Dallas Cowboys have officially placed star quarterback Dak Prescott on injured reserve.

With the move, Prescott’s season is over.

The move comes as no surprise after the Cowboys quarterback underwent surgery last week to repair his injured hamstring. Prescott suffered a partial tendon avulsion against the Atlanta Falcons. The diagnosis means part of Prescott’s hamstring has pulled away from the bone.

In Prescott’s absence, Cooper Rush and Trey Lance are the two best quarterbacks on the roster.

Dallas’ first game without QB1 did not go as planned and they were eliminated 34-6. The team returns to primetime action in Week 11 with a Monday Night Football showdown against the Houston Texans.

Prescott’s options were “rest and rehab — which would keep him out for about a month and a half — or surgery, which has a three-month timeline,” according to NFL.com.

Prescott finishes the disappointing 2024 campaign with 1,978 passing yards, 11 touchdowns and 8 interceptions, with a QBR of 47.

We’ll have to see if the Cowboys have any fight left for the remainder of the season, or if the team will just pack it in. What they decide to do will say a lot about the locker room leadership this team has.
