FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Dak Prescott has decided on surgery for his torn hamstring, ending the season for the franchise quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys when their playoff hopes were already fading fast. Owner Jerry Jones said Prescott will have the surgery Wednesday in New York. Jones was speaking on his radio show Tuesday.

Grier has familiarity with the Cowboys after working as a backup with the organization from 2021-2022, so this is a logical reunion for both sides. Grier will now be the third quarterback under the roof at AT&T Stadium behind starter Cooper Rush and Trey Lance, who are both on the active roster.
