Cowboys delay putting Dak Prescott on IR for hamstring injury

FRISCO, Texas -- Dak Prescott's stint on injured reserve has been delayed temporarily.

The Dallas Cowboys did not place Prescott on injured reserve Saturday for the partial avulsion of his hamstring, which means now the earliest he could return would be Dec. 15 against the Carolina Panthers, if the team makes the move next week.

Prescott and the Cowboys are continuing to seek opinions on the best way to treat the injury, either with rest and rehab or surgery. Multiple sources said Prescott will need six to eight weeks to recover without surgery.
