Dak Prescott has offered commentary on his injury for the first time since undergoing surgery.

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.
