Prescott was tackled by Giants defensive back Logan Ryan with 6 minutes, 33 seconds to play in the third quarter after a 9-yard run.
The quarterback will undergo ankle surgery Sunday night, ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen report.
Andy Dalton was subbed in for Prescott and led the Cowboys to a 37-34 victory.
Despite his team’s struggles, Prescott was off to a historic beginning to the season. He threw for at least 450 yards in the Cowboys’ last three games. Entering Sunday, he led the NFL in passing yards with 1,690, which is also the most passing yards through the first four games by a Cowboys quarterback ever.
Prescott is currently signed to a one-year franchise tag that is worth $31.4 million, so this injury could have a massive implication on the value of his future deal. In the offseason, he turned down a five-year deal worth $34.5 million per season and more than $100 million guaranteed.
Prescott has not missed a start due to injury in his career until this point.

ReeToxA confronts the past with truth on “HMAS CERBERUS”
“HMAS CERBERUS,” ReeToxA’s new single, is a raw, very personal song about his life experiences. The song sounds like Oz rock from the 1990s, and modern alternative and grunge. It sounds brave and familiar at the same time, like a truth kept secret for a long time.
“HMAS CERBERUS” is based on a true story from Jason McKee’s life, and it shows how his ten years in the Navy changed him and how they still do. The song bravely speaks to the emotional toll of service, including alcoholism and mental stress, sincerely.
The poem is what makes the single stand out. The writing is brilliant and stays smart, and it’s hard without being preachy. The singer got the idea for the song when he saw four seasons in one day at a beer garden in Melbourne. It connects the sudden change in the weather to a life that is constantly changing and hiding how you feel. It’s a potent metaphor for a mind that finally stops long enough to figure out where the damage started.
The song “HMAS CERBERUS” is both intense and at the same time. It makes you think, but it’s also surprisingly easy to dance to, which shows that dark themes don’t have to be sad music. The song is both interesting and challenging to listen to because of the gritty guitars and rock base. In a sea of safe releases, ReeToxA stands out as honest, raw, uncomfortable, and necessary. “HMAS CERBERUS” is a brave meditation that stays with you for a long.time
