Dak Prescott suffered a horrific ankle injury during Sunday’s game against the New York Giants, and Jason Garrett was among those who came over to check on the Dallas Cowboys quarterback following the play.

Prescott was tackled on a scrambling play in the third quarter and had his ankle turn awkwardly underneath him (video here). He then remained down on the turf for a while with his ankle twisted in a gruesome way. Garrett, who used to coach the Cowboys and is now the offensive coordinator with the Giants, came over to check on Prescott.

Prescott and several other players were emotional as the two-time Pro Bowler was carted off the field. The fact that Garrett came over to check on Prescott was an indication of how serious the injury was.

The Cowboys announced that Prescott was being taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
