Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is set to be placed on injured reserve and will be sidelined for at least the next four games, according to an announcement from the team’s executive vice president. Prescott sustained a hamstring injury during the Cowboys’ recent loss to the Atlanta Falcons, which has raised concerns about the severity of the damage.
The hamstring injury has been diagnosed as a partial tear, leading to speculation that Prescott could miss anywhere from six to eight weeks of action. His absence will be a significant blow to the Cowboys as they rely on their starting quarterback for leadership and offensive stability.
By moving Prescott to injured reserve, the Cowboys are ensuring that he will have time to recover and avoid rushing back before he is fully healed. The decision to place him on IR means that he will miss at least the next four games, but his exact return timeline will depend on his progress during rehabilitation.
This move has prompted the team to adjust their game plans moving forward, as they will need to rely on backup quarterbacks in Prescott’s absence. The Cowboys will be hoping for a swift recovery to minimize the impact on their season
