Dak Prescott has offered commentary on his injury for the first time since undergoing surgery.
By Brandon_Loree Nov 21, 2024

Three tendons connect the hamstring muscle to the pelvis. Two were completely torn off the bone. The third was attached and was no more than three centimeters off the bone. A complete tear would have made the decision for Prescott. Surgery would have been the only course. But this partial tear fell into a gray area.

Dr. Dan Cooper, the Cowboys’ physician, gave Prescott the options. He sought three other opinions. All told him essentially the same thing. Prescott would need to rest for four weeks before rehab could even begin. Once he began to work his way back to the field, there was no assurance the hamstring would hold.

“At the end of the day, we were hoping in six weeks I could start gaining strength, which is what all of the doctors were telling me,’’ Prescott said. “But if I waited and rehabbed it, I may or may not be able to regain strength.

The leg bone's connected to the knee bone
The knee bone's connected to the thigh bone
Doin' the skeleton dance
The thigh bone's connected to the hip bone
The hip bone's connected to the backbone
The backbone's connected to the neck bone
Doin' the skeleton dance
Shake your hands to the left
Shake your hands to the right
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands out of sight
Shake your hands to the left
Shake your hands to the right
Put your hands in the air
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle your knees
Dem bones, dem bones, dem dancing bones
Dem bones, dem bones, dem dancing bones

Needed to rest for 4 weeks before starting rehab but was on the sidelines at the last game for some reason. He was on the sideline at the Iggles game too, bouncing around like he didn't have a thing wrong with him.



Something smells fishy......

How could rehab fix it? Or were they hoping rehab to strength what was left and delay surgery to the offseason?

The minute this injury occurred it had to be season ending. The Cowboys were just hoping for a better assessment because in the end they knew there was no harm in waiting a week or two to have the surgery. This was never a question for me.

Has any starting QB come back to play at their former level after this injury? I thought Dak was dynamic the first 4-5 years of his career, but he was lethargic this year. I hope he retires.
