The Dallas Cowboys' record will not affect whether quarterback Dak Prescott, who is "likely" heading to injured reserve with a hamstring injury, returns

A person with knowledge of the situation says Dak Prescott’s injured hamstring is partially torn away from the bone and surgery for the star quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys is possible.

The last of Cooper Rush's five starts filling in for an injured Dak Prescott as quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys in 2022 was against Philadelphia. The first of a stint that could be longer this season begins against the same NFC East rival on Sunday with Prescott sidelined by a hamstring injury that is likely to land him on injured reserve and could require surgery.

Prescott's strained hamstring is likely to sideline him for an extended period, Dallas owner Jerry Jones said. The Cowboys also are trading for receiver Jonathan Mingo, according to a source.

With Dak Prescott likely out at least four games in an anticipated move to injured reserve because of the star quarterback’s strained hamstring, the Cowboys are still buyers. Those were the words of owner and general manager Jerry Jones on his radio show Tuesday — trade deadline day — when he acknowledged the addition of Panthers receiver Jonathan Mingo without giving the name after updating the prognosis on his franchise QB.
