Officially, the Cowboys say they are still determining whether Prescott’s injury will heal on its own or if he will need to go under the knife. The quarterback’s name was placed on the team’s injured list, meaning he will be out for a minimum of four weeks.
The 31-year-old footballer’s troubles appeared in his team’s 27-21 defeat against the Falcons in Atlanta. After the game, he said he felt pain never seen before.
In eight games this season, Prescott has completed 64.7% of the passes he has attempted for 1,978 yards and 11 touchdowns. He was also the victim of eight interceptions.
