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.

Fantasy Impact:

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.

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.

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

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Cowboys say QB Dak Prescott (thumb) needs to pass spin test Wednesday

St. Louis Post Dispatch

Oct 11, 2022 · 5:06 PM EDT

Dak Prescott could get the thumbs up for Week 6, but only if he passes the spin test.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday the doubt around Prescott is whether he has enough hand and grip strength in his right thumb to spin the ball with the velocity needed to throw passes on target.

Fantasy Impact:

If he can, Jones and the Cowboys should get Prescott back in the lineup Sunday with the NFC East lead on the line against the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles (5-0). If he can't go it will again be Rush who has filled in well whenever called upon. Keep in mind this is the late game on Sunday night.
