Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will undergo an MRI on Monday to assess the extent of a hamstring injury sustained during Sunday's game against Atlanta. Prescott expressed that the sensation he experienced was unfamiliar, describing it as a 'pull' that he had never felt before. Despite the injury, Prescott remains determined to return to the field for the upcoming matchup against NFC East rival Philadelphia, emphasizing his commitment to being there for his team.
Prescott's resilience was evident as he acknowledged the challenge of playing through the discomfort, underscoring his desire to compete and contribute to the team's efforts. In addition to the hamstring issue, Prescott also appeared to suffer a hand injury towards the end of the third quarter, further complicating his performance in the game.
During the game, Prescott completed 18 of 24 passes for 133 yards and secured one touchdown without any interceptions, breaking a streak of two interceptions in three consecutive games. He also showcased his mobility with three carries for 30 yards, highlighting his versatility as a quarterback.
Following Prescott's departure due to injury, backup quarterback Cooper Rush stepped in as the Cowboys faced a 21-13 deficit going into the fourth quarter. Despite their efforts, the Cowboys ultimately fell short, losing 27-21 to the Atlanta Falcons, marking their third consecutive loss in the season.
The Cowboys, now standing at a 3-5 record, face a challenging road ahead as they navigate Prescott's injury and strive to regain momentum in the upcoming games. The team will closely monitor Prescott's MRI results to determine the best course of action for his recovery and potential return to play.
