Coach McCarthy: Dak Prescott’s Injury Timeline Unclear

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is likely out for multiple weeks due to a hamstring injury he sustained during the team's loss to the Falcons. However, head coach Mike McCarthy didn’t confirm this timeline during his Monday press conference. Instead, McCarthy stressed that Prescott will definitely miss this week’s game against the Eagles, with backup quarterback Cooper Rush taking his place.

McCarthy explained that the team needs more time to evaluate Prescott's injury before determining a specific timeline. He mentioned that options, including placing Prescott on injured reserve, will be discussed once further evaluations are complete. If Prescott goes on injured reserve, he would miss at least four games. This could be a significant setback for the Cowboys, who are currently 3-5 and might not have much to play for by the time Prescott returns.
