Sources: Cowboys' Prescott likely out longer than 4 weeks

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is dealing with a partial avulsion of his right hamstring, which means part of the tendon has pulled away from the bone, a source confirmed.

Prescott has not been placed on injured reserve yet, and if he is, would miss a minimum of four games, which would keep him out until at least Dec. 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals if the move is made this week. Two sources, however, said Prescott is likely to need a longer recovery period than the four weeks.

NFL Network first reported the nature of Prescott's injury.
