But with how the Cowboys\u2019 season has gone so far, Prescott may best be served by sitting out the rest of the season.<br role=\"presentation\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\" \/><br role=\"presentation\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\" \/>Dallas is already dealing with one major, superstar injury in pass rusher Micah Parsons. Parsons is back to practice after dealing with an ankle injury, but he was limited. Wednesday was his first day back in practice and isn\u2019t guaranteed to be as effective before the injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_b9f4ra80c\">Combine\u00a0that with injuries\u00a0to receiver CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Guton, Trevon Diggs, Zack Martin and DaRon Bland, it may be time to punt on the 2024 season for Prescott and the Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_7kbe12ftm\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">Prescott signed a four-year, $240 million contract extension before the start of the season, so Cowboys fans and management are well within their rights to expect Prescott to return from a hamstring.<br role=\"presentation\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\" \/><br role=\"presentation\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\" \/>However, if the injury is as severe as a\u00a0NFL.com report\u00a0states it is (which is owned by the league and, by extension, Jones and the other 31 NFL owners), Prescott would be better off missing the rest of the season (and so should the other star players on the Cowboys\u2019 roster).<br \/>\n<br role=\"presentation\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\" \/>Let the season play out with Cooper Rush at quarterback and Dallas finishes with a top 16 draft pick. Some of the NFL\u2019s best players are able to get healthy. The Cowboys hire a new coach (who probably won\u2019t be Bill Belichick but crazier things have happened) and 2025 becomes the year Dallas returns to glory.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"_hq4rlh62h\" class=\"tagStyle_1mz4afy-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_hq4rlh62h\"><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dak Prescott\u2019s hamstring injury may keep him sidelined for weeks, raising questions about the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 2024 season Mississippi State football had its best seasons with Dak&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5440,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
