The long road to recovery for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has already started.
The team said Monday morning that Prescott had successful surgery for a dislocated right ankle, which included a compound fracture. He was expected to be released from the hospital on Monday, the team said.
As we saw with Alex Smith’s injury a couple years ago, there’s a higher chance of infection when a compound fracture is involved. Prescott will obviously be watched closely in the upcoming weeks. And then he’ll start a complicated few months on the road back.
