Dak Prescott, the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, will not return to the NFL in 2024. During his weekly interview on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday, Jerry Jones, the general manager and owner of the Cowboys, verified the news. In Week 9, during a scramble in a 27–21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, Prescott injured his hamstring. Since then, he has seen a number of experts, and they all agree that he needs to have repairs made in order to prevent problems down the road.
“It’s a more common injury in hockey, and he’s got doctors that are very familiar with how to repair that,” Jones said. “And his prognosis is wonderful. It just means that we’re not going to have him the rest of the year.”
Prescott is now expected to be out for three months. But even without surgery, he was scheduled to miss at least six weeks. On top of that, there is no incentive for Dallas to push for his return to the field in 2024, considering they are facing long odds to make the playoffs at 3-6.
Prescott signed a four-year, $240 million extension with the Cowboys in the offseason, becoming the highest-paid player in the history of the league in terms of annual salary. He will finish the campaign with a 64.7% completion percentage, 1,978 passing yards, 11 passing touchdowns, and eight interceptions.
