Dak Prescott is set to miss multiple weeks as a result of his hamstring injury.
The Dallas Cowboys lost on Sunday for the fifth time this season and it looks like they better get used to that.
It was reported on Monday afternoon that Dak Prescott, who left the game in question early, is dealing with a hamstring injury (which we knew, just not the total severity of) that will cause him to miss multiple weeks.
Dak Prescott will get a second opinion. But he’s out multiple weeks, and it could be more. Bad news for the #Cowboys. https://t.co/dH3G0SDZxS

It goes without saying that this is the worst possible thing that could happen to a team that has a number of worst possible things happen to them. Dak Prescott has his critics, but he is far and away the best quarterback on the team’s roster.
Dallas has dug themselves a hole where they have only three wins through the first eight games of the season and only once in franchise history has the club climbed out of such a hole to reach the playoffs. Prescott was a part of that group in 2018 and such a challenge will be more difficult moving forward now.
The report here notes that Cooper Rush is the primary backup for the Cowboys, but team EVP Stephen Jones appeared on 105.3 The Fan and noted that the team could consider playing Trey Lance in a world where Prescott was set to miss time. There is certainly merit to that argument now that we know we are in fact inhabiting the world in question.
