Prescott signed a four-year, $240 million contract extension right before the start of the season.
It is Prescott's second long-term injury in five seasons for the 31-year-old.
Prescott was out for the final 11 games with a broken ankle in 2020, the most recent season Dallas missed the playoffs.

Backup quarterback Cooper Rush struggled against the Eagles in his first game replacing Prescott this season.
Rush will start on Monday against the Houston Texans, despite some calling for former third-overall pick Trey Lance to get a chance under center.
Rush and Lance combined to throw for just 66 yards against Philadelphia.
The Cowboys are 3-6 on the season, four games back of the division-leading Eagles.
