During his team's season-opening defeat, Prescott sustained a thumb injury on his right hand.

Prescott's return was originally expected to take 6 to 8 weeks, but an update following his surgery revealed a more enticing schedule.

Since the Cowboys have not placed their quarterback on injured reserve, a comeback during the following four weeks is possible.
