Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones wasn't confident in his team's ability to fight through the thumb injury Dak Prescott suffered in the Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
In an interview with Jarrett Bell of USA Today, Jones said:
"I must admit: I saw the Grim Reaper out there when we lost Dak. Two years ago, we had Andy Dalton (as backup quarterback). I knew if he had to play for a period of time that we could maintain at a level. I didn't know that about Cooper Rush.
