Cowboys QB Dak Prescott told reporters today that he is ready to play Week 1 at Tampa Bay. Prescott said he has no limitations.

The word out of Cowboys camp the whole time was Prescott needed to rest and that his shoulder was fine after a follow-up MRI. Prescott telling reporters he is good to go without coaches refuting his statement is great news. Prescott is John Paulsen's QB3 heading into the 2021 season.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is expected to throw during 7-on-7 drills today, according to Dan Helman of the Dallas Cowboys. It will be his first competitive work since the first week of training camp.

The Cowboys have preached patience and have talked down the severity of Dak's shoulder injury, and his expected participation will help ease some worried in the fantasy community. Prescott is not out of the woods and he has not played in the preseason so there is still legitimate concern about the short and long-term severity of the injury.

Jerry Jones reiterates to 105.3 The Fan that Dak Prescott can and would play in regular-season game today.

It's "just not worth the gain out here in practice to not get him the rest," Jerry says of Dak's pitch count. "Very common for pulls, muscle pulls, soft tissue-type injuries."

Epstein went on to tweet the Cowboys reiterated the belief is Dak's injury is from single incident, and they are not compensating for last year's ankle injury. The tweet quoted Jones as saying, "Any type of restriction he’s having right now in his routine 100% is about later in the season. I have no compunction about him going out and playing against Tampa."

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.

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.
