Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb are set for scans on November 4 to determine the extent of their injuries.
Prescott was knocked out of Sunday’s 27-21 loss to Atlanta Falcons in the National Football Conference encounter because of a hamstring injury. Cowboys’ owner and general manager Jerry Jones called it a high hamstring injury but Prescott remains unsure if he will be fit for the November 10 Cowboys’ Week 10 meeting vs the Philadelphia Eagles at AT&T Stadium.
“I mean, it’s hard for me to say. I would say that I’ll be out there next week,” Prescott said as reported by ESPN. “Once again, I’ve got to see. Luckily, I’ve progressed fast on injuries and things, so thankful for that. When we get a picture of it, I guess we’ll see how bad it is. It’ll take a lot for me to not be out there, I’ll say, personally.”
Star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has problems of his own. He was able to play through pain against the Atlanta Falcons with a shoulder issue. Jones said he is hopeful Lamb can continue to play since he was able to play through it on Sunday.
Prescott suffered his injury after a 5-yard scramble late in the third quarter. On the next play, cameras caught him grimacing as he threw a wobbling 10-yard pass to Jalen Brooks on the wide side of the field.
“I felt it when I was getting up from the run. I can’t even say that I felt it running,” Prescott said. “I don’t know, but when I was standing up, I felt something actually. Didn’t think it was much. You get tired. It’s a physical game. A lot of times you feel different things and they kind of go away.”
It remains to be seen whether the pair will be available for the upcoming tie. Any extended period on the treatment table will be a blow to the side.
