00:00and we'll be right back with more coverage.

00:05We start with the quarterback. Of course, that is Dak Prescott

00:07exited the game early with a hamstring injury. The Cowboys

00:11saying he is set to undergo an MRI early this week. Doctor

00:16Chow from what you in the war room was able to see yesterday

00:19at Sports Injury Central. What do you think the prognosis is

00:22for Dak Prescott returning to the gridiron? The hamstring is

00:27not so much the cut on the hand and the swelling. Look, the

00:31grips on the Palmer side, not the backside. That's not an

00:34issue. The hamstring is a big deal for a couple of reasons.

00:38Number one, it's rare to injure your hamstring throwing the

00:42ball. It's more running. But when you do injure your hamstring

00:45throwing the ball, especially when it's your back foot, it is

00:48a key part of the throwing motion in terms of driving the

00:52ball downfield and accuracy. So it's not just about moving in

00:56the pocket or scrambling. It's about downfield accuracy. This

01:00is a huge deal for the Cowboys. Look, I think there's a

01:03reasonable chance that he misses the game, and if he plays, he's

01:06not going to be 100%. The only way he plays it near 100% is,

01:11oh, he felt something in the hamstring, but it was like

01:14spasm, and there's actually no damage on the MRI. In that case,

01:18then he would be fine. But right now, this is the biggest worry

01:21of the week right now in terms of certainly that big Eagles

01:25Cowboys game. Way bigger worry than CeeDee Lamb.
