The Cowboys were leading by just one point with a little over six minutes in the third quarter when Prescott was injured at the end of a 9-yard run after getting tackled by Giants’ defensive back Logan Ryan. Prescott reached for his right foot in obvious pain -- it was bent at an awkward angle.
“I feel terrible for him,” first-year coach Mike McCarthy said. “He was having a tremendous year in the short time working with him. He’s made such an impression on me and he’s clearly the leader of this football team. I have no doubt that he’ll bounce back from this and this will be all part of his great story.”
Prescott has started the first 69 games of his career, from the beginning of his rookie season in 2016. The two-time Pro Bowler has totaled 17,468 passing yards and 106 touchdowns.
