The Cowboys lost Dak Prescott from a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter against the Atlanta Falcons.
Backup quarterback Cooper Rush came in in his place.
Prescott had rushed for 30 yards three times in the game, plus a fourth scramble that was called back for a holding penalty.
He rushed the driveway twice before going outside.
While the Cowboys officially ruled him out with a hamstring injury after evaluation in the blue medical tent, Prescott’s throwing hand also swelled early in the fourth quarter. Medical personnel treated a wound at the base of his right pinky finger.
The Cowboys trailed 27-13 when Rush went in.
Prescott completed 18 of 24 passes for 133 yards and a touchdown in addition to his 30 rushing yards.
