Cowboys’ Jerry Jones: Dak Prescott’s Damage ‘Prognosis Is Nice’ Sooner than Surgical operation

Dallas Cowboys Jerry Jones had something of a certain outlook concerning Dak Prescott’s hamstring hurt even supposing the quarterback will endure season-ending surgical operation Wednesday.

“It’s far a more abnormal hurt in hockey, and he is got medical doctors which may well possibly well be very accustomed to search out out how to restore that,” Jones acknowledged Tuesday right thru an look on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas (h/t ESPN’s Todd Archer). “And his prognosis is unbelievable. It apt manner that we’re no longer going to have him the comfort of the one year.”

Archer reported that Prescott observed a specialist Monday sooner than deciding on surgical operation with the 2025 advertising and marketing campaign actually in solutions.

He may well possibly well honest no longer even had been available for the comfort of the season if he avoided surgical operation, as Archer cited sources who acknowledged it could per chance well per chance had been a six-to-eight week restoration length. The surgical operation manner he is facing a three-month restoration length.

Dallas is 3-6 with eight games excellent and is largely taking half in out the string on the season at this level. Having Prescott defend far from surgical operation apt for the outdoors risk of returning for unhurried-December games that is frequently meaningless for the Cowboys would no longer have made considerable sense.

Yet here’s restful one other setback for a quarterback who has skilled quite a bit of them in most modern years.

He became once restricted to apt 5 games in 2020 resulting from a dislocation and compound fracture of his honest ankle. He also neglected 5 games in 2022 resulting from a broken honest thumb and underwent surgical operation on his shoulder sooner than the 2023 advertising and marketing campaign.

Issues were trending in the honest route for Prescott coming into the 2024 season, as he apt led the league with 36 touchdown passes to apt 9 interceptions in 2023. He also remained healthy and appeared in all 17 games while throwing for 4,516 yards for a Cowboys crew that went 12-5 and obtained the NFC East.

Now, Dallas is in third build in the division and successfully in the lend a hand of the 7-2 Philadelphia Eagles and 7-3 Washington Commanders.

Prescott’s hurt all but eliminates any possibilities at a unhurried fee, though Jones’ optimism appears to place the expectation is the starter will likely be ready to advance and lead an offense that will likely be attempting to jump lend a hand in 2025.
