Jerry Jones Says Dak Prescott Likely Out At Least 4 Games With Ir Move Because Of Hamstring Injury

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is likely to miss at least four games with a move to injured reserve because of his strained hamstring, owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday.

Prescott sustained the injury in the second half of a 27-21 loss to Atlanta . The Cowboys 3-5 play NFC East rival Philadelphia 6-2 on Sunday, the second of four consecutive games against winning teams.

"It's an extended period of time here," Jones said on his radio show. "I wouldn't dare make a prediction when it could be. We'll see kind of how his rehab goes."

Cooper Rush will replace Prescott, just as he did when the Cowboys went 4-1 in 2022 with Prescott out after breaking a thumb in a loss in the season opener. Rush also won a game in 2021 filling in for the 2016 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Prescott's extended absence is another setback in a season full of them for the Cowboys , who are on their first three-game losing streak since 2020. Dallas played the last 11 games of that 6-10 season without Prescott after he broke an ankle.
