Report: Cowboys QB Dak Prescott hamstring partially torn, could be out longer than 4 weeks

It has only been a few days since theDallas Cowboyslost to theAtlanta Falcons, but the totality of exactly what happened to Dak Prescott is starting to come into focus. Prescott left the game as the fourth quarter began with aninjury, one many people originally assumed had to do with his throwing hand based on what the television broadcast showed. After the game henotedthat it was something he had never felt before which suggested the matter was rather serious. It was later revealed that he had a hamstring injury and one day later it wasreportedthat the injury was so severe that it was going to cost him multiple weeks.

As of Wednesday evening the Cowboys had yet to officially place Prescott on injured reserve, although that sort of seems like an inevitability at this point. It’s even more the case based on the reporting of NFL Network’s Jane Slater who noted on Wednesday evening that Prescott’s diagnosis is specifically a partial avulsion of his hamstring tendon that is apparently partially torn off of the bone.
