Team news: Dallas Cowboys | Page 25

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said he expects QB Dak Prescott (calf) will be "full go" for Thursday's practice.

Seems like great news for Dak's Week 9 status against the Broncos, although owners should continue to monitor as he was sore after practice last week. Like we said earlier today, the Cowboys play an early afternoon game, so we'll have plenty of time to know if Prescott is active this time around.

Dak Prescott said he has a chance to return next week against the Broncos.

“For sure. I was getting prepared to play this game,” Prescott said. “I’m a guy that takes it day-by-day, moment-at-moment, and right now, I’m going to celebrate this win with the guys and worry about rehabbing and getting everything back in order tomorrow.”

Prescott was injured on the final play of the Week 6 overtime victory over the Patriots. The Cowboys, who had a bye last week, listed Prescott as limited in practice all week and questionable for the game. They called him a game-time decision, though, all signs pointed to Rush playing, the story said. With a comfortable lead in the division and an extra game this year, the thought was to not rush Dak back, who is also coming off a serious ankle injury. The good news is the Cowboys play early in Week 9, which is a home game against the Broncos, so owners will have much more notice as far as Prescott's status goes.

49ers QB Trey Lance (knee) will back up Jimmy Garoppolo Week 8 at Chicago after being removed from the team's injury report.

Lance will officially be around in case Jimmy G fails to get the offense going against the Bears. That said Lance is not worth starting until he replaces the veteran.

If Dak cannot play Week 8, it would be a major downgrade to the pass catchers in Dallas. The Cowboys beat expects a resolution prior to Sunday.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (calf) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Head coach Mike McCarthy wants to make sure Prescott is ready for Sunday night's game, so fewer reps during the week should be expected the new couple of days.

Jimmy G looked okay at best Monday night, giving Lance a little more of a chance to at least steal snaps under center Week 8 at Chicago.

Dak Prescott wasn’t wearing a protective boot at the team’s facility on Monday and team owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan Monday that the team feels positive about where Prescott is right now.

Dak injured his calf on the game's final play and was in a boot after the game. The bye week came at a good time and there hasn't seem to be a lot of concern with him missing time. Be sure to check out the injury report on Wednesday, it wouldn't be shocking to see him limited at least to start the week.

Trey Lance is on pace to be able to practice on Wednesday, but Kyle Shanahan says that Jimmy Garoppolo will start at Chicago.

Shanahan said he did not go into game thinking that if Garoppolo had one bad game, he would not be the starter any longer, according to other reports. And Shanahan indicated Lance, when healthy, won’t be getting more first-team reps during practice, adding, “You’re not going to start rotating quarterbacks because it’s not an open competition right now.”

The Cowboys designated WR Michael Gallup (calf) to return from injured reserve.

Gallup returns to practice and Dallas has three weeks to activate him from IR. His current timetable isn't certain, per source, and according to the tweet. It's no sure thing he plays Sunday, the tweet went on to say. But it's still good news for an offense that's already really clicking.
