The initial prognosis on Dak Prescott’s return to action from a thumb fracture sustained in the season opener has sent the Cowboys into scramble mode just one week into the 2022 NFL season.
Moreover, Prescott’s expected six-to-eight week recovery timeline has now forced Dallas to re-evaluate its options at quarterback long-term outside of backup Cooper Rush, the club’s only other active QB. Despite the unforeseen change in plans, Mike McCarthy told reporters Monday the team is already weighing its options at the position and even suggested a move to address the void could come as soon as Tuesday.
