According to Jerry Jones, Dak will be out for several weeks with a thumb injury. It was 0: 30.
Jerry Jones said after Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will be out for several weeks because of an injury to his thumb.
The Cowboys quarterback ran to the locker room late in the fourth quarter to have his hand examined after he hit the hand of the Bucs outside linebacker. Jones said that Prescott had a broken thumb.
Cooper Rush is expected to be the backup quarterback for the Cowboys next week.
The Cowboys were held without a touchdown in a season opener for the first time since 2001 while the quarterback, who is now 0-7 in season openers, completed 14 of 29 passes for 134 yards.
The Cowboys haven't scored fewer than 6 points in a season opener in 25 years.
A sore ankle limited him in last Thursday's practice and he blamed a new pair of cleats for the problem. After going through full workouts on Friday and Saturday, he insisted that it wouldn't be a problem against the Bucs.
In the fifth game of the 2020 season against the New York Giants, he broke his ankle. He set a Cowboys' single-season record with 37 touchdown passes. He did not start because of a calf strain.
On the opening drive of the game, the Cowboys moved 54 yards on 14 plays and took a three-point lead after a 51-yard field goal by a kicker. They went three-plus series before they got a first down.
After the first drive, CeeDee Lamb only caught one pass from the other team.
His 134 yards was the second lowest in a game that he has played in. He had over 100 yards passing in the game against Washington.
The Cowboys agreed to a four-year contract with their quarterback.
