Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Injured in Training, Out for Three Weeks
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott suffered an injury during training today, sidelining him for an estimated three weeks. The injury, which occurred during a routine practice drill, has sent shockwaves through the team and its fanbase, raising concerns about the upcoming games.
Head Coach Mike McCarthy confirmed the news in a press conference, stating that Prescott has a minor injury to his throwing hand. “It’s unfortunate for Dak and for the team, but we’re optimistic about his recovery. We’ll take the necessary steps to ensure he heals properly,” McCarthy said.
Prescott, who has been a key player for the Cowboys since being drafted in 2016, had shown promising form in recent weeks. He was looking to build on last season’s success and lead the Cowboys deeper into the playoffs. His absence will significantly impact the team as they prepare for crucial matchups in the coming weeks.
In Prescott’s absence, backup quarterback Cooper Rush will step in as the starter. Rush has experience, having filled in during Prescott’s previous injuries, and led the team to a successful stretch last season. “I’m ready to take on the challenge,” Rush said after practice. “I’ve prepared for this moment, and I’m confident in my ability to lead this team.”
The Cowboys, currently holding a strong position in the NFC East, will face tough opponents in the next few weeks, including division rivals. Fans and analysts alike are watching closely to see how the team adapts without their star quarterback.
As Prescott begins his recovery, the Cowboys organization remains hopeful for a swift return, emphasizing the importance of ensuring he is fully fit before stepping back onto the field.
