Cowboys QB Dak Prescott has a hamstring tear and surgery is an option, AP source says

Associated Press  

FRISCO, Texas — Dak Prescott’s injured hamstring is partially torn away from the bone and surgery for the star quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys is possible, a person with knowledge of the situation said Thursday. In training camp two years ago, former Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith sustained what is called a full avulsion, a complete tear of the hamstring off the bone that requires surgery, and missed 13 games. Rush went 4-1 filling in two years ago after Prescott broke the thumb on his throwing hand in a season-opening loss. The Cowboys have made the playoffs three consecutive years with a 12-5 record, but have already matched that loss total and are three games behind Washington and the Eagles in the loss column in the NFC East.
