Jerry Jones was watching.
“Hurts has really evolved and is better than when he came out we might have thought,” Jones said. “He’s a guy that has always been able to run; very athletic, very strong. That’s not surprising.Hurts’ 108.7 passer rating more than doubled Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins, who threw three interceptions and finished at 51.1.
Jones' Cowboys will face Hurts and company Oct. 16 in Philadelphia on Sunday Night Football. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, who underwent surgery on a thumb fracture in his throwing hand last week, could return for the matchup.in case he could return in fewer than four weeks — Jones was optimistic about Oct. 9 at the Los Angeles Rams — though multiple reports pegged a likely timeline for Prescott's return at 4-6 weeks.
Prescott is scheduled to get his stitches removed this week, head coach Mike McCarthy said. Quarterback Cooper Rush guided the Cowboys to a 20-17 upset of the Bengals on Sunday in Prescott’s absence. With or without Prescott, it’ll be up to linebacker Micah Parsons and the frenetic Cowboys defense to contain Hurts when the teams face off. Parsons became the first NFL player to notch 17 sacks in his first 18 career games after sacking Tom Brady and Joe Burrow twice each the last two weeks.“They’ve got a plan to move the ball,” Jones said of Philadelphia. “They’ve certainly done that with him, and they’re doing a good job up there.
