After sustaining a serious hamstring injury against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9, quarterback Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys is out for the season. Before the season, the All-Pro signal-caller agreed to a four-year contract extension for $240 million. Now, he must watch as his team moves forward without him.

So far, it hasn’t gone well. Since Prescott’s injury, Cooper Rush, the substitute, has made two starts and passed for 399 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The Cowboys suffered a 52-point loss in both games. America’s Team was particularly hurt by their most recent defeat, as the Houston Texans, a cross-state foe, thrashed Dallas 34-10 on Monday Night Football.

Prescott was moved to tears by the cruelty of the loss. The quarterback described his emotional response to seeing his team struggle without him in an interview with the Dallas Morning News. He acknowledged that he sobbed following Monday’s loss as the reality of his predicament hit him hard.

After witnessing the Cowboys lose to the Texans, Prescott said to David Moore of the Morning News, “I guess it just hit me the other day after the game.” “Yes, boom. A few drops of tears fell. This is going to be painful. Sometimes it’s going to be awful. You simply need to realize that this is one of those times. The only thing I want right now is to let things go bad.

Star athletes always tend to have a hard time dealing with major injuries, so it’s admirable that Prescott is so candid about how it’s hurting his mental health.

Kickoff for the Cowboys’ next NFC East game against the Washington Commanders is set for 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
