Dak Prescott placed on injured reserve, return date uncertain, says Stephen Jones
u/alex •
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will be placed on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, potentially jeopardizing his availability for the rest of the regular season.
Why it matters: Prescott's absence could significantly impact the Cowboys' playoff hopes and put pressure on backup quarterbacks to step up.
What's new: Prescott suffered a partial avulsion of his hamstring in last week's game against the Atlanta Falcons, leading to his placement on injured reserve.
Yes, but: The team has not yet decided whether surgery will be necessary for Prescott's recovery, leaving his return timeline uncertain.
What to watch: The Cowboys will need to rely on their backup quarterbacks, possibly Cooper Rush or Will Grier, while Prescott is sidelined.
The bottom line: Losing Prescott for an extended period is a blow to the Cowboys' offensive firepower and raises concerns about their ability to compete in a competitive NFC East division.
