Earlier on Monday, Prescott had surgery to remove the stitches on his thumb and was shown throwing passes without any issues while wearing a protective brace.
In the meantime, the Cowboys have turned to 28-year-old Cooper Rush to lead the way. In his first full start of 2022 against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2, Rush completed 19 of 31 passes for 235 yards and a touchdown in a 20-17 win.
