Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is likely out for the season due to hamstring surgery

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is likely out for the season.

According to multiple reports, Prescott plans to undergo season-ending surgery to repair his partially torn hamstring. The 31-year-old QB suffered a hamstring injury in last Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The Cowboys said they planned to place Prescott on injured reserve this week.

The decision to undergo surgery isn't final: According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Prescott is flying to New York to get another specialist's opinion. However, Prescott's season is most likely over as the surgery would sideline him for at least four months.

Before the injury, Prescott had thrown for 1,978 yards and 11 touchdowns with eight interceptions in the first eight games of the season.

Prescott would be the latest injury blow for the struggling Cowboys, who are 3-5 so far this season and in third place in the NFC East. In addition to their QB1, Dallas is also missing cornerback DaRon Bland (foot), with players such as edge rusher Micah Parsons (ankle) and cornerback Trevon Diggs (calf) questionable for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who hit his shoulder in last week's game, is expected to return for Dallas and play through the injury.
