00:00We'll be right back with more coverage.

00:03One of the main stories this week, of course, Donnie is the

00:06health of Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott. We shared after

00:09the injury suffered in the road loss to Atlanta. The Cowboys

00:12now three and five the hamstring injury would shelve

00:16Dak Prescott for the next few weeks. How serious exactly

00:20the Cowboys were moving over the decision. Should he be

00:23placed on injured reserve? It's even worse than they

00:26initially anticipated. It is a partial evulsion. We'll

00:30hear from Dr. Donnie in a moment. But what that means is

00:33at least part of the tendon is off the muscle. It's not a

00:37hamstring strain or a tear the muscle that the tendon is

00:41off. That is not good. Apparently Dak Prescott is seeking

00:46a second opinion. I think he's checking in for office hours

00:50with Dr. Donnie right side, you know, hamstring injuries,

00:53DRS, you know, calf injuries, DRS, you are not an official

00:56doctor should be declared. But what is Dr. Donnie saying

00:59about the prognosis for Dak Prescott? Actually, I do have

01:02my doctorate from William Patterson. It wasn't obviously

01:05one of those where it's like I actually went through got my

01:07doctorate. But since being a ambassador, exactly an

01:10ambassador from the school, I believe I can speak on this

01:13at this point. Also, right from my trials and tribulations

01:16with hamstring injuries. Here's what we love again. He left

01:19the game with a hamstring injury. So I immediately text

01:21my buddies. I'm like, hey, you know what? That's out next

01:23week. Like I don't need to see anything for the rest of the

01:25game or after the game. So postgame press conference that

01:28goes up there and he's tough. Athletes are always tough.

01:30They never understand what a hamstring is. They just don't

01:32understand. Hey, look, you know what? I'll probably be okay.

01:34I'll see if I can give it a go next week only to find out

01:36when you get an MRI, you might be down for the rest of the

01:39season. This is absolutely devastating news for Dallas

01:42and comes at the worst time. Now, I know why they're

01:45contemplating. Should we put them on IR or not? Because

01:47you're having a terrible season. If you put them on IR

01:50mandatory four games, maybe as a quick healer can come back

01:53in three. So you get him back sooner, but look at the next

01:55three games for the Dallas Cowboys Eagles Texans at the

01:59commanders Dallas. The season is over. You just paid back a

02:03ton of money. Don't ruin his career. Get him the surgery.

02:06Sit him down. If he comes back late in the season and it's

02:09already over at least he can get some reps in for next year

02:12and he can be healthy to the start of the offseason. It

02:14doesn't make any sense to rush Dak Prescott. Now, maybe you

02:17would have it was like, you know what? We're going to have

02:19our the Giants and the Panthers on deck and we can win

02:23these two games with Cooper Rush. You're not winning. I

02:25get newsflash. You won't win any of the next three games

02:28right now. It's over for your season. Rest Dak Prescott. Put

02:32him on IR. Bring it back later just to get back into the flow.
