Jerry Jones should be glad to have his star QB back under center. Dak Prescott cemented his return to the field on Sunday, as the Dallas Cowboys took down the Detroit Lions 24-6.
The former Mississippi State QB has been out with a thumb injury since the Week 1 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and had surgery on Sept. 12. During his absence, the Cowboys have utilized the services of Cooper Rush, who led Dallas to 4 straight victories before falling to the Eagles in Week 6 action.
The injury didn’t seem to have much effect on Prescott, who went 19-of-25 for 207 yards and a touchdown in his first start since Week 1. Prescott did even better in the second half, going 10-of-11 for 103 yards. During a radio interview on 105.3 The Fan, Jones said Prescott’s injury should be even less of a factor moving forward (via the Dallas Morning News):
“Absolutely has no adverse aspects to it. That hand will be better, if it needed to be next week, or better tomorrow than it was this past week. I think you are going to see that more and more not be a factor if there’s not a reinjury someplace.”
Prescott and the Cowboys take on the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
