According to Jerry Jones, the star quarterback has a chance to return within four games.
On Tuesday, one day after he had thumb surgery, Jones updated his status during an interview with The Fan.
According to sources, the initial estimate was for him to miss six to eight weeks.
He said that Dak has a chance to throw the ball quickly.
If he were to be placed on IR, he'd have to miss at least four games. The minimum recovery time would have been six weeks and he would have returned against the Bears on October 30. The Cowboys have a week off.
In the fourth quarter of Sunday night's 19-3 loss, the quarterback injured his hand after hitting the hand of the LB.
