**Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is facing a crucial decision about his injured hamstring, with surgery being the most likely outcome. While sources say Prescott is determined to explore all options before giving up on returning this season, medical experts believe surgery is the best course of action.**

The injury, a partial hamstring tendon avulsion, is serious and could sideline Prescott for a month or more. The team is leaning toward a cautious approach with their highest-paid player, but have not yet placed him on injured reserve, leaving open a slim chance of a quicker return.

However, the Cowboys’ current record of 3-5 and their position four games behind division leader Washington, makes a return before December 15th unlikely.

Prescott’s future with the Cowboys is secure, having signed a record-breaking four-year, $240 million extension earlier this year. In the meantime, the team will rely on veteran backup Cooper Rush with former No. 3 overall pick Trey Lance serving as the backup.
