Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott left the team’s Sunday Night Football game vs. the Buccaneers early on Sunday after suffering a thumb fracture.
The 29-year-old will miss six to eight weeks with the injury, ESPN’s Todd Archer reported on Monday. Prescott will have surgery on Monday where he will have a pin and plate inserted to stabilize the joint. He is expected to be placed on the injured reserve list.
After Prescott left the game and underwent tests in the locker room, Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy was delivered the unfortunate news about his quarterback while leaving the field after the team’s 19–3 loss.
