Chiefs players send prayers to Cowboys QB Dak Prescott after gruesome injury

Cowboys starting QB Dak Prescott suffered a serious leg injury and Chiefs players sent prayers his way.

The Dallas Cowboys were already having a difficult season and it just got a whole lot tougher.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott suffered a gruesome ankle injury during the course of their Week 5 win against the New York Giants. He was carted off of the field, holding back tears after suffering the apparent injury. Multiple reports confirmed that Prescott was headed to the hospital and was set to have surgery on his right ankle immediately.

This could have career-altering implications for Prescott, who couldn’t come to an agreement on a long-term contract extension ahead of this season. Prescott’s injury sent reverbs throughout the NFL and members of the Kansas City Chiefs sent prayers his way in light of the injury.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes was among the first players to offer his prayers following news of the injury. Mahomes has always been an advocate of Prescott’s.  Early this season, he even mentioned that he studies his game and borrows from him at times.

Chris Jones, a college teammate of Prescott’s at Mississippi State from 2013-2015, sent his prayers after seeing his friend and former teammate suffer the injury.

Armani Watts and Taco Charlton were among the players to tweet out their prayers for Dak, offering him support.

Juan Thornhill, who suffered a season-ending ACL injury in 2019, sent his prayers to Prescott. He knows all too well how tough it is to come back from a bad injury.

Chiefs rookie RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire referred to Prescott as his “big bro” as he sent prayers to the injured Cowboys quarterback.

Injuries are an unfortunate reality of playing a contact sport. Still, it never gets any easier as a player to see one of the stars of the game, a fellow player and friend suffer a serious injury.
