Dak Prescott Out for Season with Torn Hamstring

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will miss the rest of the 2024 season due to a torn hamstring that is likely to require surgery, as confirmed by team owner Jerry Jones. Prescott's absence leaves the Cowboys relying on backup quarterbacks Cooper Rush and Trey Lance, who both struggled in their recent loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. With the Cowboys now at 3-6 and on a four-game losing streak, their chances of making the playoffs are slim, and questions about head coach Mike McCarthy's future are intensifying. Micah Parsons, the team's edge rusher, had a conversation with McCarthy following comments on the coach's job security, indicating internal tensions. Prescott is scheduled to see a specialist for a final opinion before potentially undergoing a procedure that entails a recovery period of about four months.
