The beginning of the 2022 NFL season was not the best for the Dallas Cowboys. They were defeated by the Buccaneers, but also lost Dak Prescott due to a thumb injury. Now, Jerry Jones got real on the team's hopes without one of their greatest players.
Unfortunately for Dallas, Dak Prescott will be out for at least six weeks. The quarterback had surgery on Monday for his right thumb, which was hurt by linebacker Shaquil Barrett during SNF against the Bucs.
With Prescott out for six to eight weeks, Cowboys' situation worries their fans. But Jerry Jones has spoken and sent a message to all the doubters that are already ending their season.

Jerry Jones, Cowboys' owner, spoke about the team's situation after loosing Dak Prescott for several weeks. The businessman knows it won't be easy, but he believes there still a light at the end of the tunel.

That's just if he didn't have it, if we didn't have it, it would be different," said Jerry Jones to Dallas Morning News. "But we do, and, so, let's hold what we've got, get this plane kind of landed. Right now, let's patch up the holes and let's come back at it.
