Prescott is not in line to play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Chargers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Per Machota, the plan is for Trey Lance to play the entire game, which would set the stage for both Prescott and Cooper Rush to be held out versus Los Angeles. Prescott's next game action is thus slated to occur on the road against Cleveland on Sept. 8.
Prescott isn't in uniform ahead of Saturday's preseason game at Las Vegas, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Prescott sat out the Cowboys' exhibition opener last Sunday against the Rams due to a sore ankle, but he was able to return to practice Tuesday and participate fully one day later. Nonetheless, coach Mike McCarthy will opt to keep Prescott and likely a number of other starters on the sideline this weekend. Prescott is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he tossed for 4,516 yards, 36 touchdowns and nine interceptions while rushing for 242 yards and two more scores in 17 regular-season contests.
Prescott (ankle) will be a full participant in Wednesday's joint practice with the Rams, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Prescott was given a precautionary day off last Friday due to ankle soreness, but the issue is no longer hampering him. If the Cowboys elect to play key starters during Saturday's road preseason game against the Raiders, Prescott will thus be in line to start after having missed the team's exhibition opener against Los Angeles. Prescott is still working without star wideout CeeDee Lamb (holdout) at practice, as the No. 1 receiver remains away from team activities amid an ongoing contract dispute.
Coach Mike McCarthy said Prescott (ankle) will participate in Tuesday's mock game before Wednesday's joint practice with the Rams, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Prescott is trending in the right direction after sitting out Sunday's preseason loss to the Rams due to a sore ankle, and assuming he gets through the back-to-back sessions unscathed, he could put himself in a position to suit up for Saturday's exhibition at Las Vegas.
Prescott (ankle) said Sunday that he expects to be back out on the practice field at the Cowboys' next session Tuesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Prescott was unavailable for the team's 13-12 loss to the Rams in their preseason opener Sunday as a result of ankle soreness. It's unclear whether the quarterback would've played in the contest anyway, but it's a positive turn of events that he'll be able to return to practice right away.
Prescott is not practicing Friday as he manages ankle soreness, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Prescott is dealing with ankle soreness following Thursday's joint practice with the Rams, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Per the Cowboys, his absence Friday is completely precautionary, but Prescott is nonetheless not expected to suit up for Sunday's road preseason matchup against Los Angeles. The veteran quarterback was spotted with a protective walking boot on his right foot back in July, which was also linked to ankle soreness, but it remains to be seen whether his current issue is related. Prescott did say after Thursday's joint practice that he feels fully ready for the regular season, though, so it doesn't appear either his ankle issue or ongoing contract negotiations with the Cowboys are at any risk of impacting his availability Week 1 against Cleveland.
Prescott said after Thursday's joint practice with the Rams that he feels ready for the regular season, Jon Machota and Saad Yousef of The Athletic report. "I'm going into Year 9, I've had a lot of experience," the quarterback said Thursday afternoon. "I think all of that carries into my confidence to say I could play a game right now. Part of me wishes that (practice) was a game... I'm ready to play and get after it." The veteran quarterback still has an unsettled contract situation as he heads into the final year of his current deal and possible free agency in 2025, but Prescott hasn't seemed distracted in training camp, even as the Cowboys' offense also deals with CeeDee Lamb's holdout. Prescott instead leaned heavily on Brandin Cooks during Thursday's joint practice while also looking frequently for Jalen Tolbert and tight end Jake Ferguson. Prescott may not see any action at all this preseason, but that lack of game reps shouldn't be an issue once a Week 1 trip to Cleveland rolls around.
Prescott (foot), who has been spotted without a protective boot on his right foot, said Tuesday that there's "absolutely nothing" wrong with his ankle, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Prescott clarified that the walking boot he was spotted wearing in early July was only worn as a precautionary measure after soreness developed in his right ankle, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.com, despite initial reports that the quarterback was nursing a minor sprain. He underwent surgery on that ankle back in 2020 due to a compound fracture and dislocation, so it isn't surprising to see him treating soreness in the ankle with extra caution. At this point, Prescott is showing no signs of discomfort and looks on track to be a full participant for the start of training camp. Prescott also said that his agent and the Cowboys have had conversations about a contract extension, adding that he has plans in place to work out with potential holdout candidate CeeDee Lamb before the start of camp, per Machota.
Prescott was spotted Thursday wearing a protective boot on his right foot due to a sprain, but the injury isn't considered serious, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. The Cowboys wrapped up the final practice of mandatory minicamp June 5, roughly one month ago, and Prescott has reportedly been wearing his protective boot only for about a week, so it remains unclear how he suffered the injury. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network confirms that the injury is considered minor, so it doesn't seem like the franchise quarterback's foot sprain is at much risk of impacting his availability for the start of training camp July 25. Now heading into his age-32 season, Dallas and Prescott have yet to come to terms on a new contract extension, and he remains scheduled for a $55.46 million cap hit in 2024. Meanwhile, star wideout CeeDee Lamb could be a candidate to hold out from training camp if he doesn't receive a new contract of his own.
