Dak Prescott will have surgery on a torn hamstring, bringing an end to the season for the Dallas Cowboys quarterback.
Prescott, 31, picked up the injury in a 27-21 loss at Atlanta two weeks ago and owner Jerry Jones says the QB will have the surgery on Wednesday in New York.
“His prognosis is wonderful,” Jones said. “It just means we’re not going to have him for the rest of the year.”
The recovery time is expected to be at least three months as Prescott’s hamstring was partially torn off the bone, a condition known as partial avulsion.
It’s the second time in five years that Prescott will miss more than half the season because of an injury. He broke an ankle in Week 5 in 2020, when Dallas finished 6-10.
The Cowboys, who play Houston (6-4) at home next Monday night, are in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time since 2020. The defending NFC East champions finished 12-5 in each of three consecutive playoff seasons but are 3-6 in the NFC East.
