Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott underwent successful surgery on his fractured thumb, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Week 1 brought plenty of concern for the Cowboys with a 19-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Prescott exiting in the fourth quarter with this injury.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told reporters after the game that Prescott could miss several weeks and will require surgery for the injury.
He struggled throughout the game even before the setback at 14-of-29 passing for 134 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception. Cooper Rush entered the game in his place and will surely be asked to work under center until Prescott is ready to return unless Dallas goes another route via trade or free agency.
