Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott plans to undergo season-ending surgery on his hamstring pending the opinion of one final specialist, according to a Saturday afternoon report from Adam Schefter of ESPN.
"Prescott is flying to New York to meet with the specialist, but Cowboys doctors already believe he needs the surgery that would sideline him four months," Schefter wrote.
If his season is indeed over, Prescott finishes it with 11 touchdowns against eight interceptions in eight games.
