“Obviously a hard, difficult scenario, losing him for that amount of time, however we’re going to do what’s in the very best interest of Dak, and today I do not believe anybody understands whether it’ll be 4 weeks, 6 weeks or the season. We’ll simply need to continue to keep an eye on that and see where it takes us.”

With Prescott out for the foreseeable future, all eyes will be on Cooper Rush as the profession backup once again takes control of under center for Dallas.
