During the telecast, sideline reporters indicated team medical staff were monitoring Prescott, though the specific injury wasn’t disclosed at the time. The Cowboys’ official team communications noted that Prescott was holding his left rib area after the hit, but he told teammates he was “good” and did not require medical attention on the sideline.
Dak Prescott spoke with reporters after the game, describing the hit as a rib shot that briefly knocked the wind out of him. He said he wasn’t leaving the game and needed a moment to get back to it. Prescott also acknowledged difficulties reading and reacting to blitzes, which contributed to more hits than he would like. He expressed frustration that the offense struggled to execute, resulting in only 13 points, but emphasized the need for the team to respond and regain momentum across all phases.
In recent weeks, Prescott has faced a challenging stretch, including multiple interceptions, an uncommon occurrence in his career. The Cowboys entered the season with optimism about their offense, but recent results have tempered that enthusiasm. Prescott urged his teammates to focus on improving and to approach the next games with a steady, one-game-at-a-time mindset, aiming to build confidence and regain momentum across offense, defense, and special teams.
