ARLINGTON, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will be out "several weeks" due to an injury to his thumb that requires surgery, owner Jerry Jones said after Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Prescott jogged to the locker room late in the fourth quarter to get his right hand examined after he hit the hand of Buccaneers outside linebacker Shaq Barrett and did not return.
Prescott, who is now 2-5 in season openers in his career, completed 14 of 29 passes for 134 yards and was intercepted once and sacked twice while the Cowboys were held without a touchdown in a season opener for the first time since 2001.
