FRISCO, Texas — The season is over for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott .
Speaking on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas on Tuesday, owner and general manager Jerry Jones confirmed Prescott will have surgery to repair the partial avulsion of his hamstring in New York on Wednesday.
Prescott flew to New York on Monday to visit with a specialist all the while understanding that surgery would be the most likely outcome. After Sunday’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles , Prescott said he wanted to make sure this would not be an issue that affected him in the future.
“It’s a more common injury in hockey, and he’s got doctors that are very familiar with how to repair that,” Jones said. “And his prognosis is wonderful. It just means that we’re not going to have him the rest of the year.”
There was a strong possibility Prescott would not have been able to return this year even without surgery. Multiple sources said he would need six to eight weeks to recover before he could potentially get back on the field. The Cowboys are 3-6 and have eight games remaining in the regular season.
