Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Undergoes surgery Monday

Prescott underwent surgery on his fractured right thumb Monday and is facing a 6-8 week recovery, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Prescott sustained the injury when his right hand hit the hand of Buccaneers pass rusher Shaquil Barrett on a pass attempt during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 19-3 loss. While Prescott stayed in the game for one more snap -- a screen pass to Ezekiel Elliott -- the quarterback then left the game due to his inability to grip the football. Considering the aforementioned timeline, Prescott may be able to return as soon as a Week 7 matchup with the Lions, but the Cowboys could opt to wait until after the team's Week 9 bye. In the meantime, Dallas will turn to Cooper Rush under center, with Will Grier as the No. 2 QB.
