Cowboys on Alert: Dak Prescott Lands on Injury Report With Hip Issue Ahead of Eagles Showdown
Dak Prescott Injury Just Days Before Eagles Game
The Dallas Cowboys delivered an unwelcome update as quarterback Dak Prescott was added to the injury report with a hip issue just days before their critical matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. According to offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, the injury surfaced after the team’s win over the Raiders, and while it is not considered severe, the Cowboys are expected to monitor Prescott closely throughout the week to ensure he’s ready for game day.
Despite being limited in practice, there’s currently no indication Prescott will miss the upcoming game. The setback doesn’t appear to have impacted his recent performance either — against the Raiders, Prescott completed 25 of 33 passes for 268 yards and four total touchdowns, continuing one of his strongest stretches of the season.
“We’ll be smart with him,” Schottenheimer said, noting that the team is dealing with a short week and wants to avoid unnecessary risk. Team personnel have also described the hip issue as mild and “not something to worry about.”
Prescott himself delivered a powerful message that instantly reassured the locker room:
“The whole team is locked in, and my injury won’t affect anyone. If this were a do-or-die game, nothing would keep me off the field. Even with a broken leg, I’d find a way to get up and beat the Eagles. We’re going in with everything we’ve got, and the Eagles are about to face our most dangerous version.”
If circumstances were to change and the injury worsened, rookie quarterback Joe Milton — known for his exceptional arm strength — is viewed as the likely next-man-up option behind Prescott.
Still, the timing of the injury naturally raises some concern, especially considering Prescott’s previous hamstring setback earlier in the season. Even so, team officials insist the situation is under control, and their cautious approach is simply part of protecting the franchise quarterback before one of the most important games on the schedule.
