While Dallas Cowboys Win Without Dak Against Joe Burrow’s Bengals, Owner Jerry Jones Provides Harrowing Update On Dak Prescott’s Injury

Published 09/19/2022, 12:30 PM EDT

The Dallas Cowboys won their first game of the season against the Cincinnati Bengals. The backup quarterback of the team, Cooper Rush, led the Cowboys to a 20-17 victory. Many doubts lingered around Rush and the team after the injury of Dak Prescott when he faced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But Rush became the main act of the game. With the help of a Dallas pass rush who sacked Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow six times, the Cowboys won the game. But how can one forget Prescott?

The leading shot-caller of the team sustained an injury to his right thumb. An extra-articular fracture that harms the wrist joint but does not extend into the joint. Although it may sound brutal, Jerry Jones, the optimistic team owner, gave important updates on Dak Prescott‘s condition.

After the unfortunate loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the multi-billionaire gave an interview. The reporter asked him questions about the state of the 29-year-old shot-caller. “Dak will be out for a while… He has an injury above his joint and his thumb up here that’ll need surgery,” said Jones.

The owner of the Cowboys, Jerry Jones, revealed that Kellen Moore (the offensive coordinator) needs to make better play calls. But after the massive win, Cooper Rush rushed to greet Moore for a fabulous game. The 28-year-old won for the second time as the starting QB. Last season, against the Minnesota Vikings, he completed 24 of 40 passes for 325 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. And a score of 20-16.

In this game, Rush was 19 of 31 for 235 yards with a touchdown. The undrafted free agent will go back to the bench after the return of Prescott. However, does his gameplay shows he should become a full-time starter in the NFL?
