REPORT: Update on Dak Prescott's Injury and Surgery Status

We finally have the official diagnosis of the injury that took Dak Prescott out of today’s game and perhaps ended his season. Prescott was carted off the field in the 3rd Quarter of the Dallas Cowboys’ victory over the New York Giants.

Dak’s injury has been reported as a compound fracture and dislocation of the right ankle. He is undergoing surgery tonight.

According to one source, this type of injury can take several months to heal. A basic ankle fracture might have had Prescott returning by December, but this more severe version could easily mean he won’t be back at all in 2020.

How Dak’s surgery goes and evaluations at that point will tell the true story. One thing we know for certain is Prescott is one of the toughest quarterbacks in the game; he should be back on the earlier side of whatever timetable he’s given.

Our best wishes go to Dak Prescott for a good surgery and speedy recovery.

DAK is always going to be an excuses QB. He will fade away just like RGBIII. Check back in 3 years and reply then, with “you were right” just like I was with RGBIII.

  Considering you didn't even get "RGIII" correct, I'm dubious about your credibility.

We love you Mr. Prescott. Stay strong and we will see you soon!! Thank God you have a good replacement until you come back. Stay in touch with each other and we will win this season. Some say the Cowboys season is over. But together you all can come back even stronger in the next game. Do let one setback cause you to lose your focus. Stay strong. The Holliways

Dak I have been a Cowboys fan for over fifty Five years and since day one of watching you on that field. I saw a special talent with a even greater sense of purpose. The team that was maligned for so long all of a sudden where given hope and starting making noise again. I don't even have to tell you we are praying for you and I know you will be back stronger than ever. (Malcolm E Tyner US Army Retired)
