The Dallas Cowboys reportedly aren't expected to make a splashy move at quarterback in the wake of starter Dak Prescott undergoing thumb surgery this week.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano, the Cowboys are unlikely to trade for a quarterback like Jimmy Garoppolo of the San Francisco 49ers or Mason Rudolph of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and they aren't expected to sign a big-name quarterback like Cam Newton either.

Fowler and Graziano noted that the likeliest course of action with Prescott out is for the Cowboys to roll with Cooper Rush as the starter, elevate Will Grier from the practice squad to be the backup and sign a third quarterback to the practice squad.

ESPN's Todd Archer reported Monday that the thumb injury is expected to keep Prescott out for six to eight weeks, but Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed optimism Tuesday that Dak may only miss four games.

Prescott represents a huge loss for the Cowboys, especially since they don't have a great contingency plan in place.
