Executive vice president Stephen Jones said Friday on 105.3 The Fan Dallas that the Cowboys likely will place Prescott (hamstring) on injured reserve, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. An IR stint for Prescott has been bandied about since Tuesday and the ensuing diagnosis of a partial avulsion of his right hamstring became known one day later. Earlier Friday, team owner Jerry Jones expressed uncertainty on 105.3 The Fan Dallas about Prescott going on the reserve list, stating, "He doesn't want surgery. He wants to be on the field and go for it. We'll see how it goes here." But Stephen Jones was more forthright Friday afternoon. "I think it's probably no way he can be back in the four-week timeframe, so he'll put him over there, and we'll have that roster spot to use in terms of the next four weeks and go from there." While the move isn't official yet, it'll need to be by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday in order to clear a roster spot ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles. As long as Prescott is sidelined, Cooper Rush will start Week 10 and beyond, with Trey Lance backing him up and perhaps even getting a chance to start himself at some point.

IR stint likely
Executive vice president Stephen Jones said Friday on 105.3 The Fan Dallas that the Cowboys likely will place Prescott (hamstring) on injured reserve, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. An IR stint for Prescott has been bandied about since Tuesday and the ensuing diagnosis of a partial avulsion of his right hamstring became known one day later. Earlier Friday, team owner Jerry Jones expressed uncertainty on 105.3 The Fan Dallas about Prescott going on the reserve list, stating, "He doesn't want surgery. He wants to be on the field and go for it. We'll see how it goes here." But Stephen Jones was more forthright Friday afternoon. "I think it's probably no way he can be back in the four-week timeframe, so he'll put him over there, and we'll have that roster spot to use in terms of the next four weeks and go from there." While the move isn't official yet, it'll need to be by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday in order to clear a roster spot ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles. As long as Prescott is sidelined, Cooper Rush will start Week 10 and beyond, with Trey Lance backing him up and perhaps even getting a chance to start himself at some point.
Unsure about injured reserve
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Friday that he's still not sure if Prescott (hamstring) will be placed on injured reserve, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. "[Prescott] doesn't want surgery," Jone said. "He wants to be on the field and go for it. We'll just see how it goes here." Recent reports suggest Prescott likely will miss at least 4-to-6 weeks, with a partial avulsion of his right hamstring potentially requiring season-ending surgery. Jones is suggesting that Prescott hopes to return before the four-week mark, but it's unclear if the goal is realistic or if he'd be able to play at anything close to his usual level of performance. Fantasy managers should brace for the possibility of Prescott missing the rest of the season and giving way to backup QB Cooper Rush, with some chance of third-stringer Trey Lance eventually making starts.
Out 4-to-6 weeks at least
Prescott sustained a partial avulsion of his hamstring Sunday in Atlanta, and his best-case recovery timetable is 4-to-6 weeks, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports. Prescott is expected to be placed on injured reserve as a result, but the Cowboys have yet to make such a transaction as they seek varying opinions on how to proceed with his rehab. Rest and icing the region are the likely routes to take, but there's also a possibility that he'll require surgery, depending on the Grade of the injury. Cooper Rush will step in for Prescott for as long as the latter is sidelined, while Trey Lance will be active on game days as the backup quarterback.
Likely to go on IR
Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday that Prescott (hamstring) will miss "an extended period of time" and is likely to be placed on injured reserve, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Head coach Mike McCarthy had already announced Monday that Prescott would miss the Cowboys' Week 10 game against the Eagles due to the hamstring injury he suffered in the Week 9 loss to the Falcons, but Jones' comments imply that the franchise quarterback will miss at least three more contests beyond this weekend's. Cooper Rush will step in as the Cowboys' new starting quarterback beginning this Sunday, while Trey Lance will move into the backup role after previously serving as Dallas' No. 3 signal-caller. While Jones didn't offer up a clear recovery timeline for Prescott, the 3-5 Cowboys could elect to hold the 31-year-old quarterback out beyond four games if the team finds itself out of playoff contention by the time he would first eligible to return from IR in Week 14.
Ruled out for Week 10
Coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Prescott (hamstring) will not play Week 10 against the Eagles next Sunday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. It had already been reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network that Prescott is looking at a multi-week absence, so this comes as no surprise. The exact timeline of Prescott's recovery remains unclear, and a trip to injured reserve is on the table of possibilities. Cooper Rush will make the start versus Philadelphia. Trey Lance figures to be Rush's backup.
Expected to miss multiple weeks
Prescott is expected to miss multiple weeks with the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The injury is worse than initially feared, Rapoport added, and Prescott will get a second opinion to confirm the diagnosis. A trip to injured reserve could be in Prescott's future, but the Cowboys may choose to keep him on the roster in the event he's healed before missing the four games he'd be required to sit out if on injured reserve. Cooper Rush and Trey Lance are Dallas' backup quarterbacks, and it's been Rush who's been active on game days as the QB2. One of them looks to be in line to start next Sunday's divisional tilt against the Eagles.
Scheduled for MRI
Prescott is slated to undergo an MRI on the hamstring he injured during Sunday's loss to the Falcons, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Per Archer, Prescott said afterward that he "felt something he never felt before" in his hamstring prior to his exit from the contest. While the QB noted that he's a quick healer and that it will take "a lot" for him to "not to be out there," his status is nonetheless worth tracking closely as next Sunday's game against the Eagles approaches. If Prescott is unavailable, Cooper Rush would be in line to draw the Week 10 start in his place.
Hurts hamstring Sunday
Prescott won't return to Sunday's game against the Falcons due to a hamstring injury, Nick Eatman of the Cowboys' official site reports. Prior to being forced out of the contest, Prescott completed 18 of his 24 pass attempts for 133 yards and a TD, while adding three carries for 30 yards. In his absence, Cooper Rush is in at quarterback for the Cowboys.
Two TDs in failed comeback bid
Prescott completed 25 of 38 passes for 243 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the 49ers. He also rushed once for minus-1 yard. Prescott's first-half numbers weren't pretty (110 passing yards and an interception), but the Cowboys nonetheless took a 10-6 lead into the locker room. San Francisco's offense woke up in the third quarter while Dallas' remained dormant, as the 49ers scored 21 unanswered third-quarter points while Prescott threw for only six yards and his second interception of the night. He finally heated up in the fourth quarter with touchdown passes of seven and 20 yards to CeeDee Lamb before logging four consecutive incompletions on Dallas' final possession. After throwing a league-high 36 touchdowns compared to nine interceptions last season, Prescott has a pedestrian 10:8 TD:INT heading into a Week 9 road game against the Falcons.
