Dak Prescott's Hamstring Injury Forces IR Stint

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is facing a serious hamstring injury, likely leading to his placement on injured reserve for a minimum of four weeks. Initial reports indicate a partial avulsion of the tendon, which may sideline Prescott for even longer, possibly the entire season if surgery is needed. Amidst the injury news, former NFL receiver James Jones criticized Prescott, accusing him of 'quitting' on his team, a claim he later apologized for once the severity of the injury became clear. The Cowboys, currently 3-5, are struggling in the playoffs race and will rely on backup Cooper Rush as they prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles. The situation has sparked debate on whether Prescott's decision to potentially sit out reflects a lack of commitment or is a necessary precaution for a serious injury. Former quarterback Ben Roethlisberger also weighed in, suggesting the Cowboys should not give up on their season despite Prescott's injury.
