Dak Prescott Hamstring Injury Analysis: Mechanism, Avulsion & Recovery

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Reportedly Has Hamstring Tear; Surgery an Option Updated Nov. 7, 2024, 11:46 a.m. ET Dak Prescott's hamstring injury involves a partial tear away from the bone, and surgery is a possible option for the Dallas Cowboys' star quarterback, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. This type of injury, known as a partial avulsion, could sideline Prescott for more than the minimum four games required if he’s placed on injured reserve. Season-ending surgery is one of the options being considered, the person told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity as the team has not disclosed details of Prescott's injury publicly. The NFL Network was the first to report the extent of Prescott's injury. Two years ago, former Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith suffered a full avulsion— a complete tear of the hamstring from the bone—which required surgery and led to him missing 13 games.
