The Dallas Cowboys will be without star quarterback Dak Prescott for several weeks after he undergoes surgery on a fractured thumb.
Prescott was injured in the fourth quarter of Dallas’ season-opening 19-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night and is expected to miss 6-8 weeks, and the injury will likely land him on injured reserve.
The Cowboys will turn to Cooper Rush as their starting quarterback in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Will Grier is the team’s No. 3 quarterback and he’s currently on the practice squad.
Prescott’s injury means Dallas will be without their star for the first matchup against the Eagles in Philadelphia on Sunday Night Football on October, 16.
