The Cowboys believe it would be better to manage the injury now, rather than letting it heal on its own and risk future complications. On radio in Dallas Friday, owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Prescott wanted to avoid surgery. In recent years he has had surgery on his right ankle, right thumb and left shoulder.
Dallas is having a rough season, going 3-5. The team will face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
In eight outings this season, Prescott has completed 185 of his 286 pass attempts for 1,978 yards and 11 touchdown passes, compared to eight interceptions.
