As you have almost certainly seen (or at least read about) by now, Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a horrific ankle injury that will keep him out until the 2021 season.

On Wednesday, following practice, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford spoke to the media and he was asked about Prescott’s injury. Stafford said he was watching the game live when it happened and that he felt terrible for Dak. He added that since he did not have Prescott’s cell phone number that he reached out to Cowboys OC Kellen Moore so he could tell Dak that Stafford was thinking of him.
Stafford added that if anyone is going to come back from such a terrible injury, it is Dak.
“It was horrible,” Stafford said during a conference call Wednesday. “I felt so bad for him. He was playing so great, he’s been playing great for a few years now. Just been the heart and soul of that team and to see it happen – I was watching the game live, looked down for a second, looked back up and it did not look good obviously.
“I know that if anybody’s going to come back from that, it’s that guy. He’s an incredible guy and obviously a great player as well.”
“I don’t have (Prescott’s) cell phone number,” Stafford said, “but obviously you guys know I know Kellen. So I text Kellen and was like, ‘Hey, make sure you pass on my best wishes to Dak and all that.’
“I just felt terrible for him. I know Andy (Dalton) will come in and do a great job for them. But Dak’s a special player and for that to happen is not good.”
