The surgery would sideline Prescott for four months, ending his season no matter what. A full recovery for 2025 would be expected.
Reports from earlier in the week suggested that Prescott’s hamstring was partially torn from the bone, but at that point, surgery was not seen as inevitable. The prospect of season-ending surgery became more real on Friday as Prescott continued to seek additional opinions.
Prescott threw for 1,978 yards, 11 touchdowns and 8 interceptions in 2024 prior to the injury. Cooper Rush will take over at the position for the 3-5 Cowboys, whose season looks to be rapidly slipping away.
