Jerry Jones ranks Cowboys’ opening flop, surgeon on Dak Prescott’s thumb injury

SportsDay Cowboys

Calvin and Michael kick off Episode 2 with a review of the dismal performance by the Cowboys in Sunday’s season opener, a 19-3 loss to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. [2:45] Calvin talks to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones immediately after the game. Was this the worst season-opening loss in the Jones era? Hear from the owner himself.
In our featured segment, [12:00] Michael interviews surgeon David Hay from the Cedars-Sinai Kerlan Jobe Institute. Michael and Hay, a hand specialist, discuss Cowboys QB Dak Prescott’s fractured right thumb, including the type of fracture, recovery timeline and risk factors involved. Hay said he agrees with Dr. Jerry -- Jones’ eternally optimistic side -- that it’s possible Prescott could return for the game against the LA Rams on Oct. 9.
Finally, the episode wraps up with the I Disagree segment. [25:30] Calvin argues the Cowboys made a mistake by parting ways with offensive lineman La’el Collins in the offseason, especially in light of Terence Steele’s four-penalty performance Sunday. Michael says the Cowboys know more about Collins’ track record than we do, and that must be factored into assessing the roster decision.
