The Dallas Cowboys are in a lot of trouble. After another crushing loss against the Atlanta Falcons on the road, they have a 3-5 record and Dak Prescott could be out for many weeks.
During the fourth quarter, the Cowboys were down 21-13 and, after throwing a pass, Prescott suffered a hamstring injury. At first, the quarterback seemed ready to return, but, a few minutes later, he was officially ruled out.
Now, a playoff run trying to win the Super Bowl looks almost impossible considering Dallas will face one of the toughest stretches in the NFL to close out the month: Eagles, Texans and Commanders.
What happened to Dak Prescott with Cowboys?
Dak Prescott had to leave the game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Atlanta Falcons in the fourth quarter because of a hamstring injury. However, TV cameras also caught the quarterback having serious problems with his right hand.
Medical staff was taping one of his fingers and, at least for the moment, no one knows for sure how long Prescott will be out for the Cowboys. This could be the end of the season for Mike McCarthy’s team.

How serious is Dak Prescott’s injury with Cowboys?
Dak Prescott’s hamstring injury kept him out of the final ten minutes of the game against the Atlanta Falcons as Cooper Rush took over at quarterback. As we’ve already mentioned, the extent of the injury hasn’t been confirmed, but, his mobility was severely compromised.
Furthermore, the most intriguing part of Prescott’s situation is probably his throwing hand. He had a clear cut and was bleeding and that might also affect him going forward.
