Cowboys QB Dak Prescott has a hamstring tear and surgery is an option, AP source says FRISCO, Texas (AP) A person with knowledge of the situation says Dak Prescotts injured hamstring is partially torn away from the bone and surgery for the star quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys is possible.

The injury is known as a partial avulsion and is likely to lead to an absence longer than the minimum of four games that would be required by putting Prescott on injured reserve.

Former Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith missed 13 games two years after sustaining what is called a full avulsion in training camp.

The complete tear of the hamstring off the bone requires surgery.

Dodgers not counting on Ohtani to pitch at the start of next season following left shoulder surgery SAN ANTONIO (AP) The Los Angeles Dodgers arent counting on Shohei Ohtani to pitch at the start of next season and will wait to see how his rehabilitation progresses following shoulder surgery on his non-throwing arm.

Cavaliers mark historic 9-0 start by getting coach Kenny Atkinson all wet NEW ORLEANS (AP) The Cleveland Cavaliers are returning home in rare air.

They're 9-0 for the first time in the franchise's 55-year history after a 131-122 victory in New Orleans.

First-year coach Kenny Atkinson says players celebrated by dumping water bottles over his head in the locker room.

Although the Cavs have their sights set on bigger things, Atkinson says it's important to recognize and enjoy such accomplishments because it's a long season and it's hard to win in the NBA.

The Cavaliers are shooting an NBA-best 52.6% after making 54.2% of their shots in New Orleans.

All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell says the vibes and energy around the Cavs are great and that Atkinson has done a phenomenal job in his first season running the team.

(AP) Florida coach Billy Napier is getting a fourth season to try to get the Gators back to their winning ways.

Athletic director Scott Stricklin made the announcement in a letter to Gator Nation that says the team is building a foundation.

The Gators have made significant strides since lopsided losses to Miami and Texas A&M during the first month of the season.

Napier shored up the teams shaky defense, found a potential star in freshman quarterback DJ Lagway and developed young talent on both sides of the ball.

Its the kind of progress that made Stricklins decision a relatively easy one despite Napiers 15-18 mark in Gainesville.
