Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is likely headed to injured reserve with the hamstring injury he suffered during Sunday’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
On his weekly appearance on 105.3 The Fan, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed Prescott was facing up to at least four weeks on the sidelines.
Jones said: “We’ll likely IR him.
“It’s an extended period of time here. I wouldn’t dare make a prediction when it could be. We’ll see kind of how his rehab goes.”

Assuming he does go on injured reserve, the earliest Prescott could return would be the Week 14 match-up with the Cincinnati Bengals.
It is the worst possible news for a Cowboys team that is already feeling the heat for a disappointing 3-5 record this season.
It’s Rush Hour
Cooper Rush will take over from Prescott under center.
He is 5-1 as a starter in his career and Jones is confident he can help the Cowboys get their season back on track.
“There’s no question that Dak’s injury is a setback,” Jones added. “But we’ve seen Cooper do it. We know what we need to do, the strategies on the offense. We just need to come together game by game, use all of our players to the extent that it helps us.”
