The Cowboys find themselves with a glaring hole at quarterback after starter Dak Prescott suffered a serious hand injury that is expected to keep him out for the foreseeable future.
Prescott fractured his right thumb, on his throwing hand, during Sunday night’s 19–3 loss to the Buccaneers. He will undergo surgery on Monday to repair the damage, but is set to miss the next “several weeks” recovering, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
With the two-time Pro Bowl sidelined, Cooper Rush is poised to become the team’s starter and 27-year-old Will Grier will be elevated from the practice squad to serve as his backup.
