Prescott Injury Update: Cowboys QB Likely Facing Season-Ending Surgery After Hamstring Tear, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is reportedly likely to undergo season-ending surgery following a hamstring injury he sustained this past Sunday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The injury occurred during a scramble in the second quarter, and initial tests revealed a significant tendon tear, casting serious doubt on Prescott’s availability for the remainder of the season.
The news is a devastating blow to a Cowboys team that has built much of its offense around Prescott’s leadership. While the team has yet to confirm the decision publicly, sources close to the situation indicate the surgery will likely take place this week in **Los Angeles**, sidelining the quarterback for several months.
This injury adds to a string of physical setbacks for Prescott, who missed significant time in 2020 with a fractured ankle and in 2022 due to a thumb injury. Now 32, the veteran quarterback was entering the 2025 season in arguably the best shape of his career—leaner, stronger, and with renewed focus after a rigorous off season rehab program.
With Prescott potentially out for the season, backup **Cooper Rush** is expected to take over as the starter, while the Cowboys may look to add another quarterback to the roster. Head coach Mike McCarthy said Monday, “We’ll evaluate all options, but right now our focus is on Dak’s health.”
The Cowboys, who were eyeing a deep playoff run this year, will now have to regroup quickly as the NFC East remains highly competitive.
Stay tuned for further updates as the situation develops and the Cowboys adjust to life—at least temporarily—without their franchise quarterback
