Cowboys to place Dak on IR for hamstring injury

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is expected to be placed on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, according to executive vice president Stephen Jones. The timeline for his recovery is uncertain, with sources indicating it could be 6-8 weeks. Prescott is seeking opinions on whether surgery is necessary, which could potentially end his regular season. The Cowboys will likely elevate a player from the practice squad to replace him on the roster. Owner Jerry Jones is hopeful Prescott can avoid surgery and return to the field soon, but the team is prepared for a lengthy recovery process. This injury comes at a critical time for the Cowboys, who are currently 3-5 and fighting for a playoff spot.
