Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Dak Prescott will undergo season-ending surgery on his torn hamstring this Wednesday in New York, as confirmed by team owner Jerry Jones during his weekly appearance on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.
Prescott was unable to play in Sunday’s heavy loss to the Eagles due to the injury, which had been speculated to be severe. Cooper Rush stepped in as the starter but struggled to ignite the Cowboys’ offense.
Through eight games this season, Prescott completed 64.7% of his passes for 1,978 yards, with 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions. There were high expectations for Prescott after his strong performance last year, where he threw for 4,516 yards and 36 touchdowns against just nine interceptions.
Prescott had signed a significant contract extension before the season but couldn’t match his previous year’s production, even when healthy.
The Cowboys currently have a 3-6 record and will next face the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football in Week 11.
