Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a gruesome, season-ending ankle injury Sunday in the third quarter of the game his team went on to win against the New York Giants.

Prescott was going down in the arms of defensive back Logan Ryan at the end of a nine-yard run when his lower right leg got caught under Ryan and appeared to snap.

TV images showed his right foot bent at an awkward angle as he writhed in pain. The Cowboys said Prescott had a fracture dislocation of his ankle and he had surgery later in the day.

 

Falcons Fire Head Coach, Manager

The Atlanta Falcons fired head coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff Sunday after the day's loss to the Carolina Panthers sent the team to a 0-5 start for the first time since 1997.

Quinn was in his sixth season with the Falcons, and Dimitroff had been with the team since 2008. An interim head coach is expected to be announced today, and team president Rich McKay will take over day-to-day oversight of football operations.

 

NFL Reschedules Games

The National Football League has had to reschedule games due to coronavirus outbreaks on the Tennessee Titans and New England Patriots that are affecting nine teams, some through November 22.

Among the nearest changes: the Denver Broncos game at New England, originally scheduled for Sunday and then moved to Monday, was moved again, and will now be played next Sunday and the Kansas City Chiefs game at the Buffalo Bills, which was supposed to be played Thursday, was moved to next Monday.
