Jerry Jones would not rule Prescott out from Sunday’s game vs. the Rams.

Jones went on to say in the tweet, “We are just starting the week. Let’s see how the week goes.” Reports said the more realistic time for Prescott's return was Week 6 against the Eagles, but Dak was pushing to play in Week 5. We should know more as we get to the end of the week.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott tells me Cowboys/Rams Week 5 is a game that he could possibly start.

Prescott wasn't put on IR because the team believed he could return sooner than later after thumb surgery went well. Slater said Prescott showed her his thumb post stitch removal and there was no swelling and it's healing. The broadcast on Monday night said Prescott could return as early as Week 4. Slater went on to tweet she gets the sense he would go Sunday vs. Washington if he could, but this will be a "team/Dak decision to be smart."

Michael Gallup could return slightly sooner than expected but he'll do so with Cooper Rush at the helm, and one would assume they will ease him back into the lineup.

Noah Brown has actually performed admirably in his chance as the team's WR2, ranking 17th in yards per route run (2.5 YPRR) amongst 60 qualifying wide receivers through two weeks. Regardless of who is behind him, CeeDee Lamb should be the focal point of the offense throughout the year.

Cowboys owner and General Manager Jerry Jones thinks Dak Prescott may surprise people with how quickly he returns from the injury to his throwing hand.

Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that it’s still too soon to say when Prescott will be back on the field, but it’s possible that he’ll miss only one more game and play in Week 4 against the Commanders.

Jones has been beating this drum all along, and right after Dak's surgery said the team wouldn't put him on IR, thinking he could be back sooner than later. Obviously there is a lot that can happen between now and Week 4 and we're likely to get a bunch of updates on Prescott and his progress.

Jerry Jones on 105.3 The Fan said Dak Prescott (thumb) won’t be going on injured reserve. He thinks Prescott could play within the next four games.

Apparently the timetable is becoming more optimistic for Prescott following his thumb surgery on Monday. This likely means the team will ride with Rush at QB and won't make any kind of drastic move for another QB. Not going on IR should at least be an indication it will be closer to four weeks instead of the high end of eight weeks.

Dak Prescott is set to have surgery on his fractured right thumb today, which could keep him out until their Bye Week, which takes place in mid-November.

It would seem that the shortest possible timetable would have him returning on October 24th, which is right before the team's bye week. Cooper Rush will take over at quarterback and extend his five career starts this weekend against the Bengals. The Cowboys scored three points in their Week 1 loss against the Buccaneers, with Prescott at the helm for most of the game.

The Cowboys are keeping one QB on the 53-man roster for the time being: Dak Prescott. Cooper Rush and Will Grier have been released, according to sources. Rush does not go through waivers; Grier does. Likely both will be back in some form – PS or active - to serve as backup.

Archer went on to say this is nothing to be alarmed about for Cowboy fans or maybe even for those who backed up Prescott on dynasty rosters. Archer added, "it's roster manipulation at the moment to be prepared for moves to come over the next few days. They can have a wink-wink deal with Rush since he's a vested vet. Grier would be back if unclaimed as well."

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.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (calf) is questionable for Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings after having soreness following Thursday's practice.

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.

Mike McCarthy said Cowboys QB Andy Dalton practiced today. He has been cleared. He was a full participant.

Dalton is expected to start in Week 11 even though many who follow the team seem to think the team would be much better off going with Gilbert, who kept the Cowboys in the game against the Steelers in Week 9.
