The Cowboys owner did confirm that Prescott isn’t out for the year, and that the surgery is set for Monday.
With Dallas’ starting signal-caller out, head coach Mike McCarthy will turn to backup Cooper Rush. In relief of Prescott on Sunday, Rush completed 7 of 13 passes for 64 yards.
Even with Prescott under center, the Cowboys struggled to score in their season-opener. He went 14 of 29 for 134 yards and an interception and the team mustered just three points — a field goal on the opening drive.
