Is Dak Prescott Injured or Playing in Week 10?
Dak Prescott's hamstring injury sounds like it's fairly severe, as Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has already said that Prescott won't play in Week 10 against the Eagles.
It's currently unclear exactly how much time Prescott will be out, but the current expectation is that Prescott will miss multiple weeks.

That will hand the starting role to Cooper Rush, something that puts the team's already precarious playoff chances on even shakier ground.
Dak Prescott Fantasy Football Injury Outlook
With Prescott sidelined this weekend, the Cowboys will turn to Cooper Rush to take over at quarterback. Rush last started in 2022, when he filled in for Prescott for five games.
In that span, Rush averaged 191.2 passing yards, 1.0 touchdowns, and 0.6 interceptions per game. He completed just 58.04% of his pass attempts.
Rush is nothing more than a low-end QB2 streaming option for fantasy managers. He lacks the arm accuracy and mobility that Prescott brings to the field.
A stint on the IR will be discussed for Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (hamstring) after getting a second opinion this week, per source.
Meanwhile, WR CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) is considered week-to-week at this point with optimism he can go vs. Philadelphia.https://t.co/PDxTbhlHBg

One player who shouldn't suffer too much from Rush starting is wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. Lamb is dealing with a sprained AC joint but has a chance to play in Week 10.
The last time Rush had to start for Dallas, Lamb averaged 6.2 receptions on 9.8 targets for 76.0 yards per game. He caught a pair of touchdowns in that span.
But Lamb will likely be the only reliable fantasy option with Prescott sidelined. It's about to be lean times for this Dallas Cowboys offense and for fantasy managers who have pieces of the offense.
