Commanders will not face Cowboys QB Dak Prescott in Week 12

The Dallas Cowboys are struggling. At 3-5, they are three-and-a-half games behind the Washington Commanders in the NFC East. The Cowboys have dealt with injuries and inconsistent play and look quite a bit different than they did one year ago.

Dallas owner Jerry Jones famously said the Cowboys were “all-in” for 2024 and proceeded to do nothing in free agency. Dallas lost multiple key players and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.

This season, the Cowboys have lost star edge rusher Micah Parsons and quarterback Dak Prescott, among others this season. While Parsons is expected back, Prescott’s season is apparently over.

On Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN revealed that Prescott was undergoing season-ending surgery for his partially torn hamstring.

With Prescott potentially out for the season, he will miss both games against the Commanders. Washington and Dallas meet in Weeks 12 and 18.

Cooper Rush is expected to be Dallas’ new starting quarterback. Rush has played well in the past and has led the Cowboys to a win over the Commanders in the past. Dallas could use this as an opportunity to see former top-five pick Trey Lance.
