While facing the next few weeks without Dak Prescott under center, the Dallas Cowboys weren’t expecting to start the season 3-5. The Cowboys are coming off three consecutive 12-win seasons; they would have to win every game for the remainder of the season to reach that feat for the fourth time in a row.
Amid all this turmoil, there’s another report coming out that doesn’t paint a pretty picture for one of their stars.
“My Man Is Quitting On These Dudes” Cowboys Star Facing Major Backlash
Prescott is expected to miss several weeks because of his new hamstring injury. In the Dallas Cowboys’ loss to the Atlanta Falcons, the quarterback had to leave the field after completing a pass to Jalen Brooks. He was never able to return to the game:
When the news broke about Dak Prescott’s injury, former NFL wide receiver James Jones did not mince a single word when he stated that he believed another player with more character would have stayed on the field despite being injured, especially when his team needed him most in such a crucial game.
“Dak is quitting,” said Jones. “And it’s crazy because it ain’t even funny though. My man is quitting on these dudes. I’ve had a hamstring (injury) plenty of times. And I’m back the next week.
“I’m not Tyreek Hill. It don’t take no four weeks for you to heal from no hamstring. You’re no Lamar Jackson, you’re not Jalen Hurts. You’re not running, where are you running to? Four weeks? Basically put me on ice for four weeks. No fight, no nothing.
“This is a hamstring for a quarterback who is not explosive at the quarterback spot. If they tried to hold me out, I would say ‘Who am I running away from?’ I’ve been 4.5-4.6, I’m gonna stay 4.5-4.6 with a bad hammy. So I’m going out here and playing. Dak Prescott, with the way the season is going right now… We heard him on the sideline with what he said. Dak is quitting on these boys.
“Is it off the bone or something? Because there is no way you’re telling me you’re out four weeks with no answers, no fight, no nothing for a hamstring. And you’re a quarterback. There ain’t no way.
“Drop back and get the ball out. Your hamstring don’t have to be 100 percent at the quarterback spot. Dak Prescott is quitting on these boys. We know, we’ve been in the facility when dudes are hurt and really can’t go. And we know when dudes are messing around.”
This is the latest blow to the reigning NFC East champions’ already highly disappointing season. They are 3-5 and set to be without their most important player for the foreseeable future.
Dallas will feel the loss of Dak Prescott, especially ahead of next weekend’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
