Prescott said he felt a pull after a scramble and thought it would go away. But it got worse several plays later when he attempted a pass toward receiver Jalen Brooks.

“Tough to walk on it at that point,” Prescott said after the game. “Saw the medical team and I asked could I make it worse, and at that point they said I wouldn’t be able to protect myself and made the call.”

Prescott didn’t play the fourth quarter. He finished 18 for 24 with 133 yards and one touchdown. Prescott also rushed for 30 yards on three scrambles.

Prescott said he’ll undergo an MRI exam Monday to determine the damage to the upper part of the leg.

Whether he’ll play Sunday against the Eagles will be the biggest question going into that game.

“I mean it’s hard for me to say. I would say that I’ll be out there next week,” he said. “Once again, I’ve got to see. Luckily, I can say I’ve healed fast, I’ve progressed fast on injuries and things. So thankful for that. Gotta get a picture of it. When we get a picture of it, I guess we’ll see how bad it is and it’ll take a lot for me to not be out there, I’ll say, personally.”

Cooper Rush replaced Prescott and threw a touchdown pass on 13-of-25 passing for 115 yards and a touchdown. In 2022, Rush won four of five games subbing for Prescott, who missed five games with a fractured thumb.

The Cowboys have confidence in Rush if he has to play against the Eagles, but there remains worry about Prescott.

“Well I am concerned about that,” Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said. “It concerns me when I saw the players. I saw him have a reaction to any weakness he might have had there in his [hamstring]. We just have to take a look at that. I’ll be very candid with you, you’ve got to give Rush a little positive here, not a little, he came in there, and I’m proud of him. I thought he played well.”

Prescott wasn’t the only Cowboys player to suffer an injury.

Safety Juanyeh Thomas left in the fourth quarter with a concussion and didn’t return. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb suffered a right shoulder injury. He left the game briefly but returned, even catching a two-point conversion pass.

Lamb caught eight passes for 47 yards on 12 targets.

Left tackle Tyler Guyton didn’t start the second half with a neck injury but he returned on the second series of the half.

The biggest health issue revolves around Prescott.

With the Cowboys amid a three-game losing streak, Prescott feels the need to play, but his long-term health is a major concern.

It was very difficult for him to leave the game Sunday.

“Yeah, very difficult,” he said. “I guess in that sense of just asking can I make it worse, if I can, like know how much we needed this one. Yeah, wanted just to get out there and compete. Get out there and fight. Yeah, crazy.”
