Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is out several weeks after injuring thumb against Buccaneers

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will not play for several weeks after injuring his thumb in the team's 19-3 loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at AT&T Stadium on Sunday night. 

Prescott apparently got hurt in the fourth quarter after trying to make a throw over Buccaneers defensive end Shaq Barrett who put his hands up and crashed into Prescott's right hand. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told reporters after the game his injury is above his joint and his thumb will need surgery. 

"Dak will be out for a little while," he said. "We'll be dealing with that as well. This was a really tough night for the Cowboys and a really surprising night."
