Dak Prescott gives an update on why he was recently wearing a walking boot. He says there’s “absolutely nothing” wrong with his ankle.

The QB dismissed concerns about his surgically-repaired ankle, writing off soreness due to a couple hard practices. It seems like the boot was more precautionary than anything, but it's a situation we'll keep an eye on.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott, spotted here in a protective walking boot, is dealing with a very minor foot sprain and has been for a few days. It’s not considered to be anything that should affect his preparation for 2024.

A walking boot doesn't sound especially "minor", but we'll keep an eye out for updates over the next week. Former first round pick Trey Lance could be an interesting stash for deep Dynasty leagues where he remains on the waiver wire.

Trade: The 49ers are sending their former No. 3 overall pick Trey Lance to the Dallas Cowboys for a mid-round. Lance now gets a fresh start in Dallas.

All things considered, this feels like a great deal for all teams involved. Regardless of what we think about the 49ers sacrificing so many picks to grab Lance in the first place, it didn't make any sense for them to keep him, as he has apparently become a third-stringer. The Cowboys had to give away only a fourth-round pick for what could be an exciting backup option, and Trey Lance gets a new start after what presumably has been a rough first couple of years in the league.

In fantasy terms, Lance at least becomes a hold in deep 2QB dynasty leagues.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott asked if he is starting Sunday; “I am,” says he won’t wear a brace. Might wear KT tape, might not but no limitations on grip, etc

It was a good run for Cooper Rush, but Prescott provides much more fantasy upside as a quarterback, as well as for his pass catchers. This aligns well with Michael Gallup, who has been seeing an uptick in usage since returning from injury, including a season-high 76.1% snap share in Week 6. He becomes a WR2/3 with Dak, while CeeDee Lamb is instantly bolstered into top-five WR territory.

Mike McCarthy said all systems are on track for Dak Prescott, who has been medically cleared.

Hill's tweet went on to say Prescott will participate in the mock game Wednesday and then throw to the receivers after the practice. The plan is for him to go through a full practice on Thursday.

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy wants to see Dak Prescott go through a full week of practice before the franchise quarterback plays in a game. Prescott will get that opportunity starting Wednesday as he’s expected to be a full participant in practice after being medically cleared.

The story said the Cowboys will rely on their defense and running game, and don't expect Dak to have to throw 40 times to win a game. While it's not what fantasy owners want to here, we rank Dak QB10 heading into Week 7 and he gets a great matchup against the Lions.

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones is hopeful Dak Prescott will be able to return to the starting lineup Sunday against the Detroit Lions after missing five games with a fractured right thumb.

"Well, let's just say this: He's determined to [play]," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. "I think he's, from my perspective, from what I can know and see, I think he's going to get there. We feel like that physically, he's at a position that the risk/reward justifies him being out there in terms of any reoccurrence of the injury."

According to the story, Jones said Prescott had a "very impressive" throwing session before Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. After the game, Prescott said it was his plan to play against the Lions. On Monday, coach Mike McCarthy said Prescott would be cleared medically by Tuesday and would return to practice Wednesday.

It appears Dak Prescott participated in his first Cowboys practice since fracturing his right thumb in Week 1. He is listed as limited, as are Micah Parsons and Demarcus Lawrence. Both defensive players say they will play. Cooper Rush still preparing to start vs. the Eagles.

It looks like the team is going to rest Prescott for at least one more week, and it may be prudent, considering the brutal matchup they have on Sunday night. With Dalton Schultz nursing a knee injury, CeeDee Lamb and Ezekiel Elliot may be Dallas's only worthwhile fantasy pieces this week.

Dak Prescott said he felt “great,” after his first throwing session since undergoing right thumb surgery.

The tweet went on to say Prescott said he plans to throw more on Thursday. “Solid. Ask the receivers,” he smiled when asked how it went. “I always got some pop on my (passes).” Reports said the Cowboys are preparing to start Rush on Sunday night against the Eagles but keep an eye on how Prescott progresses over the next few days. Counting on Prescott for a Sunday night will be risky without a backup plan.

Mike McCarthy said Dak Prescott had a doctors evaluation on Monday and he’s still healing and Cowboys plan for Cooper Rush to start.

Prescott remains in the medical and rehab phase. Patrik Walker reported Prescott will start in rehab on Wednesday then on to "QB School," and is expected to start light throwing before the end of practice to receivers, according to McCarthy. Looks like Rush will start a key, Week 6 game on Sunday night against the Eagles.
