The first five weeks of the 2020 season have been filled with surprises, unexpected performances and many, many key injuries. Players like Saquon Barkley and Courtland Sutton were already done for the year before Week 5, and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott joined them on Sunday.
Prescott suffered a horrific ankle injury against the New York Giants that quickly required surgery.
While the Cowboys are well-equipped to survive Prescott's injury with backup Andy Dalton, not every team experiencing such a critical injury is as lucky. With talent deficits and potential playoff runs also coming into play, the NFL trade market should heat up between now and the November 3 deadline.
