The worst-case scenario has come to fruition for Dak Prescott.

The Dallas Cowboys quarterback is reportedly planning season-ending surgery for the hamstring he injured Sunday.

Team owner Jerry Jones was hoping Prescott would be able to avoid surgery, but after his son, Stephen, said the team was planning to place the quarterback on injured reserve, it makes sense why.

Prescott will get an opinion from one more specialist before making the decision, but all signs point to having the surgery, which is typically followed by a four-month recovery.

Prescott partially tore his right hamstring off the bone. Cameras showed Prescott grimacing as he threw a pass to wide receiver Jalen Brooks on the play after the apparent injury. After the game, Prescott detailed what he felt at the time.

"I felt it when I was getting up from the run. I can't even say that I felt it running," Prescott said. "The tackle, maybe something on the tackle. Yeah, I don't know. But when I was standing up, I felt something, actually. Didn't think it was much. You get tired. It's a physical game. A lot of times you feel different things, and they kind of go away."

Prescott broke his ankle in 2022 and had surgery on his thumb in 2022. If it is the end of the road for Prescott, he'll have finished the 2024 season with 1,978 yards, 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions with a 64.7% completion percentage.
