Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is dealing with a partial avulsion of his right hamstring, which means part of the tendon has pulled away from the bone, a source confirmed Wednesday.
Prescott has not yet been put on injured reserve. If he is put on IR, he would sit out a minimum of four games, which would keep him out until at least Dec. 9 against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals should such a move be made this week. But two sources said Prescott probably would need a longer recovery period than four weeks.
NFL Network first reported the nature of Prescott’s injury.
