Mike McCarthy came into the 2022 season knowing that his job was on the line if the Dallas Cowboys couldn’t make a deep playoff run.
That task just got harder after Dak Prescott got injured and is now slated to miss several weeks as a result
Head coach Mike McCarthy was told on the field after the game and cameras caught his reaction to the news.
Prescott will undergo thumb surgery and miss “several weeks” after exiting Sunday’s 19-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with an injury, team owner Jerry Jones told reporters.
Jones also told reporters that he was “disappointed” by the news.
Prescott went 14-of-29 for 134 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception prior to exiting late in the fourth quarter.
