Dak Prescott planning to have season-ending surgery, sources say

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is planning to undergo season-ending surgery on his partially torn hamstring, pending the opinion of one final specialist, sources told ESPN.

Prescott is flying to New York early next week to meet with the specialist, but Cowboys doctors and trainers already believe he needs the surgery that would sideline him for four months, sources told ESPN. If the specialist agrees with that assessment, the surgery is scheduled to take place Wednesday, according to sources.

The Cowboys believe it is better to address the injury now than to let it heal on its own and encounter complications later.
