Prescott confirmed that he had the stitches removed from his surgically repaired right thumb hours before his teammates hosted the Giants. <\/p>\n<p>Monday is the second game Prescott has missed after fracturing his thumb during the Cowboys&#8217; season-opening loss against the Buccaneers.  Prior to throwing the ball during pregame warmups, Prescott provided an update on his recovery and when he plans to return to the field. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A couple of weeks, and I&#8217;m counting this week as one of them,&#8221; Prescott told ESPN&#8217;s Lisa Salters while adding that he isn&#8217;t ruling out playing in the Cowboys&#8217; upcoming game against the Commanders. <\/p>\n<p>Prescott&#8217;s ability to grip the ball is the determining factor of when he will return to the field.  The Cowboys declined to put Prescott on injured reserved immediately following the injury and have been optimistic he will be back on the field sometime in early-to-mid October. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want him to be in consideration for playing within the next four games,&#8221; Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan two days after Prescott sustained the injury. <\/p>\n<div class=\"PlayerSnippet\" style=\"border-top-color: #002244\">\n<div class=\"PlayerSnippet-image\">\n<div class=\"HeadshotContainer \">\n<div class=\"Headshot Headshot--largest\">\n<figure class=\"Headshot-image img\"><img class=\" is-lazy-image\" alt=\"headshot-image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sportshub.cbsistatic.com\/i\/r\/2022\/08\/01\/d0b4cd20-e830-4f80-918b-f68ee9294f54\/thumbnail\/100x100\/822e64413d6f34a388703252ca41877a\/1824864.png?ssl=1\" bad-src=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"PlayerSnippet-teamLogo\">\n<div class=\"TeamLogo  TeamLogo--small\">\n<figure class=\" img\"><img class=\"TeamLogo-image is-lazy-image\" alt=\"team logo\" src=\"https:\/\/sports.cbsimg.net\/fly\/images\/nfl\/logos\/team\/411.svg\" bad-src=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Dallas won its first game without Prescott, a 20-17 victory over the Bengals that saw backup quarterback Cooper Rush engineer a late, game-winning drive.
