NFL Open Thread: Bye-bye mon Cowboys edition
By 
And that’s that:
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a partially torn hamstring in the Week 9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He was originally expected to miss several weeks, but now reportedly faces to miss the remainder of the 2024 season.
Prescott is expected to undergo season-ending surgery on his hamstring, with a final decision coming early next week, CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones reports. Prescott was not placed on injured reserve Saturday, which led many to wonder if he would miss more than four weeks, or return in fewer than four weeks. Ultimately, it appears likely Prescott will be turning his attention to 2025.
Cooper Rush will replace Prescott as the Cowboys’ starting quarterback, although head coach Mike McCarthy told CBS Sports’ Tracy Wolfson that there’s a chance we see former No. 3 overall pick Trey Lance in some packages.
Ideally, Jerreh will use this as a reason to think that the season was lost to injury and that things are basically fine, rather than focusing on the fact that the team was going nowhere even before Zak got hurt. Run it back again! Real McCarthyism has never been tried.
UPDATE: The Panthers now have a better record than the Giants LOL.
