Good news for Cowboys fans. Quarterback Dak Prescott has had “absolutely no setbacks” in his recovery (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero) and remains on course to play in the season opener on September 9.
Prescott’s ailing shoulder is still healing on schedule and Pelissero hears that he could have even played in tonight’s game against the Texans. But, because there’s little to be gained in exhibition games, the Cowboys didn’t want to take any risks. The plan is to ramp up Prescott’s practice reps next week, which doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll take the field against the Jaguars on Aug. 29. In all likelihood, the Cowboys will take the cautious approach by protecting Prescott between now and Week 1 against the Buccaneers.
The sixth-year QB threw the ball around before the Cowboys’ second preseason game last weekend and didn’t experience any pain, another promising sign for the weeks ahead.
Injuries limited Prescott to just five games last year, but he posted at least 450 yards between Weeks 2-4. The Cowboys are banking on another hot start from their franchise QB and a season similar to 2019 when he threw for 4,902 yards and 30 touchdowns.
Good news for WFT fans, not to mention Giants and Eagles fans.
Dak will put up great numbers against mediocre defenses, but will SUCK against any respectable one.
I am thrilled that the CowGIRLS signed him to that ridiculous contract.
By all accounts he is an exceptional human being; he just isn’t a winner on the football field.
Dallas wins July AGAIN, unfortunately for them, that earns them absolutely nothing in January.
Let the games begin…
Fitz isn’t magic though for DC. Danny sucks in NY & Hurts we’ll soon learn about. Always liked how he handled himself in college.
If Ron can get the defense to play to their full potential, Fitz won’t have to be magic. He has a great attitude and would be an asset to any locker room.
Washington is a joke if a franchise . Year in and year out top draft picks and qb but where are you left? Fitzpatrick . Sad , Cowboys cake walk to division title
I suppose Quincy Carter and Glen Carano are proof that the Cowboys never miss with their high QB draft picks.
Last five years, the freak injury to Alex Smith changed the Redskins fortunes. Even with a one legged quarterback, the Skins won the division last year over the Cowboys.
I recognize you…..you’re that famous, very knowledgeable general manager of …..NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU THINK !!!!
I see Dak having a good year but it won’t be near enough for the Cowboys as a whole. I’m not usually one to point straight to the coach but in this case that’s the most logical opinion to form. The hire was already met with skepticism given how most reacted to his departure from GB. He hired Nolan to be his DC I’m guessing because he was either a friend or he figured Dolan was the only experienced DC who would be desperate enough to work for him. One of those hires that has people scratching their heads from the time it’s made until the time it’s corrected. Didn’t hear who they hired to replace him but hopefully he works out and helps overcome the McCarthy factor a bit
Mike McCarthy does not look like his early Green Bay self. He looks like a struggling alcoholic. Not one of Jerry’s best decisions, even if it looked okay on paper.
Good news for fantasy draft
