Dallas Cowboys Struggle with Injuries and Criticism

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is dealing with a partial avulsion of his right hamstring, which could sideline him for more than four weeks, potentially requiring surgery or a stint on injured reserve as the team seeks further opinions. Cooper Rush will start in Prescott's absence, having a 5-1 record as a starter, including a successful stint when Prescott was injured in 2022. The Cowboys are struggling with a 3-5 record and face challenging upcoming games, intensifying scrutiny on head coach Mike McCarthy, whose leadership is questioned amid the team's injuries and poor performance. Dez Bryant, a former Cowboys wide receiver, has suggested replacing McCarthy with Kliff Kingsbury, highlighting the need for offensive innovation. Meanwhile, Prescott's viral comments during a loss have drawn criticism, reflecting the team's current challenges and frustrations.
