Dak Prescott To Undergo Season-Ending Surgery
He had to leave the game against the Atlanta Falcons last week. He had a hand injury but what kept him out of the game was an issue with his hamstring. Today it’s been reported that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is to undergo season-ending surgery. That’s especially tough news as they prepare for the game against their division rival Philadelphia Eagles tomorrow. ESPN Insider Adam Schefter posted on social media about the issue:
“Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is planning to undergo season-ending surgery on his partially torn hamstring, pending the opinion of one final specialist, sources told ESPN. Prescott is flying to New York to meet with the specialist, but Cowboys doctors already believe he needs the surgery that would sideline him four months.”
He also added that if the specialist agrees with that assessment, the surgery is scheduled to take place Wednesday. Also the Cowboys believe it is better to address the injury now than to let it heal on its own, potentially encounter complications later. Quarterback Cooper Rush will have the unenviable task of being Prescott’s replacement. Tomorrow will be his first start of the 2024 NFL season. But superstar wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has been working hard to establish a rapport with Rush.

According to Lamb, “We’ve connected, we’ve taken a lot of reps outside of practice just talking, communicating, getting on the same page,” Lamb said. “I feel like that’s very important with the situation that’s coming up and I’m happy for him, we know what Coop can do, the confidence is still there.”
The Cowboys have struggled this year even with Prescott on the field. Not only have they lost three straight games, they also have not won a home game this season. And currently sit with a record of 3-5. Now they have to face a 6-2 Philadelphia Eagles squad who are on a four-game winning streak. And they are relatively healthy with stars like Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley and A.J. Brown. Without Prescott the odds don’t look to be in favor of the Cowboys.
However, literally anything can and does happen in the NFL. Rush is 5-1 in six starts over the course of his career for the Cowboys, winning four crucial games for Dallas in 2022. Perhaps he can recreate that magic in 2024. If he can get the ball rolling with a win over the Eagles then all may not be lost for the Cowboys yet. And they have linebacker Micah Parsons returning and he said he feels great.
