The Dallas Cowboys could be without Dak Prescott for the rest of the season.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Prescott will likely undergo season-ending surgery pending the diagnosis of a specialist.
“Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is planning to undergo season-ending surgery on his partially torn hamstring, pending the opinion of one final specialist, sources told ESPN.”
“Prescott is flying to New York to meet with the specialist, but Cowboys doctors already believe he needs the surgery that would sideline him four months.”
ESPN also reports that the Cowboys want to get Dak’s injury taken care of now instead of later.

The Cowboys believe it is better to address the injury now than to let it heal on its own and encounter complications later. Speaking Friday on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas, owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Prescott wanted to avoid surgery. In recent years, he has undergone surgeries on right ankle, right thumb and left shoulder.
Even if Prescott opts not to have surgery, he will be placed on injured reserve and can’t come back until December 15th, if he’s healthy.
During the offseason, Prescott signed a massive 4-year $240 million contract extension to stay in Dallas.
