Fantasy Impact:
The initial timeline for a potential Prescott return was 6-8 weeks, so this feels a bit optimistic. However, later reports did indicate that he suffered a "clean break" and that his surgery, which was performed on Monday afternoon less than 24 hours after the injury, was successful. Still, the updated NFL rules only require a player being placed on injured reserve to miss four games, and Jones and the Cowboys hoping to have Prescott back within that timeframe seems more like desperation than probability. This is a good sign for fantasy managers, though. Even if Prescott does have to miss more than four games, it seems like Dallas is optimistic that he'll be able to return earlier than initially feared. While Prescott is out, Cooper Rush is expected to continue to start at QB for the Cowboys.
