Dak Prescott to Miss Multiple Weeks with Hamstring Injury

The Dallas Cowboys season continues to spiral out of control. Dak Prescott is expected to miss multiple weeks with a hamstring injury. Dallas is already down Micah Parsons and Demarcus Lawrence on the defensive side. The Cowboys are hoping to have Parsons return this weekend for the Eagles game. Prescott is seeking a second opinion to confirm treatment options. Prescott suffered his injury after a 5-yard scramble late in the third quarter of Dallas’ loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. On the next play, cameras caught him grimacing as he threw a wobbling 10-yard pass to Jalen Brooks on the wide side of the field. Prescott went 18-of-24 for 133 yards with one touchdown before leaving the game. Rush went 13-of-25 for 115 yards with a touchdown in relief of Prescott.

Cowboys star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, meanwhile, is dealing with a right AC joint issue with his shoulder and is set to undergo an MRI. The Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Sunday he is hopeful Lamb can continue to play since he was able to play through it on Sunday.

Prescott agreed to a four-year, $240 million contract hours before the season opener that made him the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL. Including Sunday, he had started 36 straight games after his thumb injury. He missed 11 games in 2020 because of a dislocation and fracture of his right ankle and missed one game in 2021 with a right calf strain.
