Tue Nov 05 04:30:00 UTC 2024: ## Cowboys Face Injury Woes as Prescott Out for Several Weeks

**FRISCO, Texas** – The Dallas Cowboys are facing a major blow as starting quarterback Dak Prescott will miss multiple weeks with a right hamstring injury, according to reports. While the team initially announced Prescott would only miss Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Prescott is expected to be sidelined for several weeks.

Prescott, who has been dealing with a string of injuries in recent years, is currently seeking a second opinion on the injury. The Cowboys may place him on injured reserve, which would keep him out until December 9th.

In the meantime, backup quarterback Cooper Rush will take the reins for the Eagles game. The team has a strong track record with Prescott starting, but they’ve struggled when he’s been unavailable.

The Cowboys are also dealing with injuries to other key players. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who suffered a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder against the Falcons, is expected to play against the Eagles but will be playing through pain. Meanwhile, defensive end Micah Parsons, who missed the past four games with a high ankle injury, is expected to return to practice this week.

While the Cowboys are facing some tough injury challenges, Coach Mike McCarthy is confident in his team’s ability to adapt.

“We’ve always invested all the time and energy into the quarterback room,” McCarthy said. “Now it’s Cooper’s turn, and Dak will be part of that process. We’ll rally around him and make sure that we do everything we can to make sure that he’s prepared.”

The team is also facing the looming trade deadline on Tuesday. While owner and general manager Jerry Jones hinted at potential deals, McCarthy stressed the importance of finding players who would be a good fit for the team.

With Prescott sidelined, the Cowboys will need to rely on their depth and resilience to weather the storm. The Eagles game will be a crucial test for the team as they look to stay in contention in the NFC East.
