Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters that QB Dak Prescott will continue to be limited at practice. “There’s a good chance he probably won’t play” Saturday against Houston, McCarthy said.

Prescott will continue to strengthen his arm but at some point concern for him being in game shape will set in. The good thing for Dak is he has a full, healthy stable of offensive talent surrounding him.

Dak Prescott is on track to potentially take the field when the Dallas Cowboys play host to the Houston Texans on Saturday.

Prescott had a second MRI, which the team said was scheduled, but still caused panic. The story said Prescott has resumed throwing in measured amounts and feels no soreness, but the Cowboys wanted one additional MRI to make sure all is well before allowing him to formally get back to throwing in team drills in practice.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is headed for a second MRI on his right shoulder strain.

Dak is dealing with a more uncommon injury for NFL quarterbacks, which spurred the organization to reach out to the Texas Rangers for more information. He is still expected to be ready for the season opener at this time, especially since he has already resumed light throwing. Still, this is a situation to monitor for a player who is expected to have a big season. Currently, our 10th ranked quarterback, Dak, has the weapons, opportunity, and projected gamescript to provide a solid ADP return on investment.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott has “taken a step back” in his return from shoulder strain, coach Mike McCarthy said.

McCarthy went on to say: “We’re being more conservative with his timetable.” Prescott won’t throw today and won’t play in Hall of Fame Game, according to the tweet. The team trying to avoid it becoming “something bigger,” also according to the tweet. The team still feels the same about the injury, just adjusting the timetable.

Dak Prescott could miss a few weeks with shoulder injury —

So far it's just a strain and Dak Prescott's timetable to return is only a few weeks. His injury is certainly something to monitor in the coming week, but for now, Prescott is still considered a Top-5 fantasy QB.

Cowboys and QB Dak Prescott have a deal.

Update: Cowboys are giving Dak Prescott a four-year, $160 million deal, including a record $126 million guaranteed, source tells ESPN.

The first three years average $42 million per year.

Still awaiting details of the contract, but a healthy Dak Prescott with his talented weapons lands him as a top-five QB for 2021.

Update: The contract is a four-year, $160 million deal, including a record $126 million of it guaranteed. The first three years average $42 million per season.

Garrett Gilbert has suddenly made a long and wildly unimpressive Dallas Cowboys quarterback carousel mushroom into a quarterback controversy, loosely stated, and even if it is for the right to lead a 2-7 team into the second half of a 2020 season torpedoed by injury and a myriad of other glaring factors. It's been an unmitigated disaster following the season-ending injury to Dak Prescott suffered in Week 5, and Andy Dalton has now missed the last two games after suffering a concussion and then having been placed on the COVID-19 list while trying to be cleared from the first injury.

It's undetermined if Dalton will be cleared to return from both concussion protocol and the COVID-19 list in Week 11, but it's likely he'll suit up, considering the fact he'll have two weeks before the Cowboys meet the Minnesota Vikings at US Bank Stadium. The story went on to say the problem for Dalton and the Cowboys is now clear, because they need to figure out if they'll return the keys to him after consistently hammering home their belief in him and accompanying salary, or if they'll ride with Gilbert.

As far as Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones is concerned, Dak Prescott's season-ending right ankle injury does nothing to change the organization's thinking about the quarterback.

"Absolutely not," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. "He's our future. He's special. If anyone can overcome anything, it would be Dak. This is something that our doctors feel good that he'll overcome and come back better than ever."

Prescott is set to be an unrestricted free agent after this season after playing on the $31.4 million franchise tag in 2020. The Cowboys can use the tag on him again next March, which would cost $37.7 million, or allow him to test the free-agent market, the story said.

But Andy Dalton is not Dak Prescott, who was off to the best start of his career and the best start ever by a Cowboys quarterback.

The offense will have to change to a degree, relying even more on the run game.

Once Dalton entered Sunday, the Cowboys used more of Elliott, who had 19 carries for 91 yards, behind a remade offensive line that included two undrafted free agents at tackle (Brandon Knight and Terence Steele) and a rookie at center, the story said. The good news for potential Dalton owners is, he has never had the skill-player talent he has in Elliott, Gallup, Cooper and Lamb.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott suffered a right ankle compound fracture and dislocation during Sunday’s win against the Giants.

Absolutely brutal news. Prescott is undergoing surgery Sunday. Prescott was coming off three straight games with at least 450 passing yards. Now it’ll be Andy Dalton in charge. He finished 9/11 for 111 yards in leading Dallas to the victory over New York and retaking the lead in the NFC East at 2-3.
