When Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott broke the thumb on his right throwing hand in a Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, many fans speculated the team’s season was over. After all, Prescott would need to go on injured reserve and return sometime later in the season, which, by that point, the Cowboys would already be out of contention.
In true Jerry Jones fashion, he said not so fast. He refused to put Prescott on IR and said he would be back soon. Prescott would miss Weeks 2 and 3, with backup Cooper Rush leading the Cowboys to wins over the Bengals and Giants.
