DALLAS — Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott plans to undergo season-ending surgery on his partially torn hamstring, pending the opinion of a specialist, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter.
According to WFAA's Cowboys Insider Ed Werder, Prescott confirmed he will be in New York on Monday to meet with one final specialist. If the specialist recommends surgery, Prescott will undergo it on Wednesday in New York, according to Werder.
Prescott has yet to be placed on injured reserve, which would sideline him for a minimum of four games because they don't require that roster spot to this point, a source told Werder.
Sources also told Werder, "This is way more than a four-game rehab -- even with no surgery."
On Friday, Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones said on his radio show that Prescott wanted to avoid any season-ending surgery and return this season. However, it looks like that option may no longer be in the cards for the 31-year-old QB.
Prescott suffered the injury in the second half of the Cowboys' loss against the Atlanta Falcons.
On Thursday, team sources confirmed to Werder that Prescott suffered a "partial avulsion of the hamstring tendon." This is said to happen when the hamstring muscle tendon contracts so suddenly and forcefully that it tears away from the bone.
So, with Prescott likely out for the remainder of the season, it could be up to Cooper Rush or Trey Lance to finish it out.
This is a developing story. WFAA will update this article with the latest.
