The idea that all critical players would stay healthy for the whole NFL season permeates a large portion of preseason assessments of NFL clubs. We are aware that accidents may happen and that some of them will drastically alter our lives. We don't know when they'll occur, who they'll affect, or how long they'll last.
A bleak season for Dallas has taken a tragic turn, given that quarterback Dak Prescott shattered a bone in his hand or wrist against the Buccaneers on Sunday night. Prescott will be out for 6–8 weeks, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.com, who provides the closest estimate of when he will return.
On Monday, Prescott will consult with the team's hand expert. To stabilize the thumb joint, it is anticipated that he will have a pin and a plate put in.
According to the schedule, Prescott might return by Week Seven (against the Lions) or Week Eight (vs. Bears). Dallas has a bye in Week Nine and then travels to Green Bay in Week 10 and Minnesota in Week 11 to complete their NFC North tour.
The Cowboys will try to stay together with Cooper Rush at the controls. What different choices do they have? Even though Cam Newton is free, nobody has mentioned him. Only players like Mason Rudolph and possibly Gardner Minshew are available for trade, so why would the Eagles—who are fully aware of the need for a top-notch backup quarterback—move their No. 2 to Dallas of all places?
The practice squads, from which players can be signed, could be searched by the Cowboys. They can look for unemployed people. They may conduct auditions. There are still not enough capable quarterbacks, which is a concern. There aren't nearly enough awful quarterbacks in the world. Additionally, the Cowboys will need to discover a means to prevail against quarterbacks who, compared to Prescott, are more deficient than proficient.
