Seen at practice Thursday
Prescott (thumb) got back on the practice field Thursday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Only 10 days out from surgery to repair his broken right thumb, Prescott didn't throw a football or take any snaps, but he was spotted gripping and tossing a softball-sized weighted ball. Per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News, Prescott still has stitches in his right hand, but those likely will be removed in the near future. It's unclear when Prescott will be able to mix into on-field work, but there's hope he'll be back either Week 4 against the Commanders or Week 5 at the Rams. As…read more

Could be back as soon as Week 4
Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Prescott (thumb) could be back as early as Week 4 against the Commanders or Week 5 against the Rams, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Prescott won't play Week 3 against the Giants, but he could be back soon after that. According to Jones, Prescott's recovery has been going extremely well so far, as the quarterback experienced minimal swelling after having surgery on his thumb.

At least a week away from activity
Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Thursday that Prescott (thumb) will need at least 7-to-10 days of healing before he's cleared to resume football activities, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Prescott underwent surgery Monday to repair a fractured right thumb, and though the procedure was considered a success by all accounts, the Cowboys likely won't be able to pinpoint a target date for the quarterback's return to game action until he's ready to do some gripping and throwing of the football. For his part, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday that Prescott won't be placed on injured reserve, which would seem to imply that the team is optimistic the quarterback will miss three…read more

Won't go on IR
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday that Prescott (thumb) will not be placed on IR, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jones said Prescott will avoid IR because he believes the franchise quarterback has a chance to play within the next four games, which goes against the 6-to-8-week recovery timetable reported by Todd Archer of ESPN.com. Prescott underwent successful surgery Monday to address his fractured right thumb, and the procedure included the insertion of a plate and a pin to stabilize a joint in his hand. Per Machota, the results of Monday's surgery have led the Cowboys to a more optimistic recovery…read more

Undergoes surgery Monday
Prescott underwent surgery on his fractured right thumb Monday and is facing a 6-8 week recovery, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Prescott sustained the injury when his right hand hit the hand of Buccaneers pass rusher Shaquil Barrett on a pass attempt during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 19-3 loss. While Prescott stayed in the game for one more snap -- a screen pass to Ezekiel Elliott -- the quarterback then left the game due to his inability to grip the football. Considering the aforementioned timeline, Prescott may be able to return as soon as a Week 7 matchup with the Lions, but the Cowboys could opt to wait until…read more

Projected to miss 6-8 weeks
Prescott is scheduled to undergo surgery Monday to address his fractured right thumb and is expected to miss 6-8 weeks, multiple sources tell Todd Archer of ESPN.com.
Analysis: The Cowboys are expected to place Prescott on injured reserve in the coming days after he sustained the injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 19-3 loss to Tampa Bay, when he struck the outstretched hand of Buccaneers defender Shaquil Barrett while attempting a pass. According to Archer, Prescott's upcoming procedure will involve the insertion of a plate and a pin to stabilize a joint in his hand, and he'll likely be limited to cardio work over the next few weeks before he's healed up enough…read more

Multi-week absence upcoming
Prescott will need surgery to repair the fractured right thumb he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, and the quarterback is expected to miss several weeks, Calvin Watkins of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Cooper Rush finished out Dallas' 19-3 Week 1 loss after Prescott got hurt, but it's possible that the Cowboys will look outside the organization for a replacement at quarterback while Prescott recovers. Prescott sustained the thumb injury when his hand hit the hand of a Buccaneers defender while following through on a pass. A more definitive return timetable will likely be established soon, but Prescott can already be ruled out for Dallas' Week 2 clash with the Bengals.

Hurts throwing hand on SNF
Prescott exited in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers to have his throwing hand examined, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Prescott took himself out of the game after taking two hits to his right hand in short succession. Cooper Rush replaced Prescott with the Cowboys trailing 19-3. Prior to his exit, Prescott completed only 14 of 29 passes for 134 yards and one interception while rushing twice for 11 yards.

Felt pop Thursday
Prescott (ankle) fully practiced Friday and is slated to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, but the injury he sustained in practice this week was a little scarier than the Cowboys initially let on, Jay Glazer reported on "Fox NFL Sunday."
Analysis: According to Glazer, Prescott felt a "pop" in his right ankle, and the team was concerned enough to give him a series of X-rays, which came back clean. The conclusion from the team was that Prescott likely had some scar tissue from his surgically repaired ankle come loose, but he's free and clear for the season opener. The issues that are troublesome for the Cowboys (lack of depth at receiver, left tackle Tyron Smith's knee injury) remain, but at least Prescott avoided a major setback with his…read more

Cleared for Sunday night
Prescott (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Jori Epstein of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Prescott returned to full participation Friday after a limited practice Thursday. The Cowboys did some tests on his surgically repaired ankle and are confident there aren't any structural issues, per Epstein, but it's nonetheless possible this limits Prescott's mobility Sunday night. He'll face a veteran Tampa defense, and Prescott also will be without WR Michael Gallup (knee) or LT Tyron Smith (knee).

On track for full practice
Coach Mike McCarthy said Friday that he expects Prescott (ankle) to practice in full ahead of Sunday's regular-season opener against the Buccaneers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: McCarthy said Prescott is on track to practice in full Friday and Saturday, and that he has no concerns about the quarterback's Week 1 availability. Prescott was limited in Thursday's session and listed with an ankle injury, but it doesn't appear that he's actually hampered to any notable extent. It will be stellar news for the Dallas offense if Prescott indeed boasts his full mobility against Tampa Bay's stout defensive front, especially with LT Tyron Smith (knee) out for most or all of the…read more

Limited by ankle, will play Sunday
Prescott was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a right ankle injury, but he emphasized that he's fine and in no danger of missing Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports. "I feel great. I still feel the best that I've felt in a very, very long time," Prescott said. "I'm good to go. I promise you."
Analysis: Prescott indicated that he isn't dealing with any sort of ankle sprain and was merely experiencing some discomfort after he recently switched his shoes. As Gehlken notes, the right ankle is the same one in which Prescott suffered a compound fracture and dislocation in 2020, so the team is seemingly just taking some extra caution with the franchise quarterback. Prescott's return to full participation in Friday's practice would clear up any lingering concern about his availability for Week 1.

Not in line to play
Prescott and most other starters aren't expected to play in Friday's final preseason game against Seattle, with the Cowboys looking ahead to their Week 1 matchup with the Buccaneers, Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Prescott hasn't played in the preseason since coach Mike McCarthy took over, and this year it had nothing to do with an injury or pandemic. The 29-year-old QB stayed healthy throughout spring and summer after having minor surgery on his non-throwing shoulder in February, but he may nonetheless find the upcoming season more challenging than last, as the Cowboys no longer have WR Amari Cooper, won't have WR Michael Gallup (knee) for Week 1 and expect LT Tyron Smith (knee) to miss most or all of…read more

Continues to shine in camp
Prescott is having the best training camp of his career according to Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. "I thought he's had his best camp that I've seen him have since he's been a Cowboy," Jones said this week. "Velocity, his accuracy, the whole thing. Obviously, as the quarterbacks get older, they get better. The good ones do. They get better every year. There's no question in my mind, I think he's had his best training camp he's ever had."
Analysis: The quarterback is also fully healthy for the first time in a couple years, which undoubtedly helps, but Prescott appears to be showing some further skill growth in camp as well. The Dallas receiving corps is currently missing both Michael Gallup (knee) and James Washington (foot), while CeeDee Lamb (toe) is a little banged up too, so Prescott likely won't get a chance to fully demonstrate he's taken a step forward until the regular season even if he does see action in the Cowboys' remaining…read more

Unlikely to suit up Saturday
Prescott isn't slated to play in Saturday's preseason game at Denver, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: As expected, Prescott won't be available Saturday and likely won't suit up next Saturday at the Chargers, either. Coach Mike McCarthy said as much in late July, noting the Cowboys will evaluate whether the team's top skill-position talents will make an appearance in a game before Week 1. In Prescott's stead, Cooper Rush, Will Grier and Ben DiNucci will handle QB duties for Dallas.

Preseason workload uncertain
Prescott may not see many reps during the preseason, and Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy wouldn't commit to playing his starting quarterback in either of the team's first two exhibition games, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: "We have a plan, really for the first two [preseason games]," McCarthy said Friday. "And then I think we'll evaluate." The coach emphasized that veteran players like Prescott would see plenty of action during joint practices against the Broncos and Chargers, however.

Should be more mobile this season
Prescott is expected to have more leeway to make plays outside the pocket this season, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: The quarterback won't suddenly become a top rushing threat a la Lamar Jackson or Jalen Hurts, but Prescott's passing numbers throughout his career have been better when he's been on the move. He wasn't allowed out of the pocket as much in 2021 after coming off multiple ankle surgeries the prior offseason and then dealing with a midseason calf issue. In fact, his 99 dropbacks with a rollout or scramble were the fewest of his career over a full season, even though he still posted a quarterback…read more

Announces shoulder is healthy
Prescott said Monday that his left, non-throwing shoulder is "fine," and he has no limitations following surgery in February, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: When the surgery was reported in early March, it was termed a "clean-up" procedure, according to Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News. With his health not in question for the offseason program, Prescott now can focus on getting acquainted with a revised receiving corps that lost Amari Cooper via trade to the Browns and Cedrick Wilson in free agency to the Dolphins. At this point, CeeDee Lamb is the Cowboys' unquestioned top wide receiver, followed by Michael Gallup -- who tore his ACL in…read more

Agrees to contract restructure
Prescott (shoulder) has agreed to restructure his contract, a move that that frees up about $15 million in salary cap space for the Cowboys in advance of free agency, Rob Phillips of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: By converting a portion of Prescott's 2022 base salary into a signing bonus, the Cowboys gain added flexibility for free agent signings and inking the team's upcoming draft class. The QB is bouncing back from an offseason clean-up procedure on his left (non-throwing) shoulder that isn't expected to impact his ability to participate in the Cowboys' offseason workouts. Meanwhile, the 28-year-old figures to be working with a re-tooled wideout corps this coming season, with Dallas expected to part…read more

Has procedure on left shoulder
Prescott had an offseason "clean-up" procedure on his left (non-throwing) shoulder, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: With regard to Prescott's procedure, coach Mike McCarthy noted, "It's not a concern. We have no concern. He is doing well." With that in mind, the franchise QB is expected to be a full participant in Cowboys' offseason workouts. This past season, Prescott -- who turns 29 on July 29 -- suited up for 16 games, with his only absence occurring in Week 8 when a calf injury sidelined him and led to Cooper Rush drawing a spot start for Dallas.

Late comeback falls short
Prescott completed 23 of 43 passes for 254 yards and a touchdown with an interception while rushing the ball four times for 27 yards and a second TD in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the 49ers in the wild-card round.
Analysis: The Cowboys had a rough first half and found themselves down 23-7 heading into the fourth quarter, but Prescott led his team on two scoring drives to make things close, capping the second one with a five-yard TD run. However, the comeback fell short when he scampered for 17 yards with only 14 seconds left on the clock and no timeouts to try and set up an easier hail mary attempt, only for the clock to hit zeros before Prescott could spike it. It was a disappointing end to a promising season for…read more

Career high in win
Prescott completed 21 of 27 passes for 295 yards and five touchdowns in Saturday's 51-26 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Prescott was excellent in the first half, throwing for four touchdowns for the second time in his last three games. With another passing score to begin the fourth quarter -- his last play of the night -- Prescott set a career high in the category Saturday. The signal-caller did so while continuing to incorporate Cedrick Wilson in Michael Gallup's (knee) absence, boding well for the Cowboys' offensive options in the playoffs.

Tosses three TDs in losing effort
Prescott completed 24 of 38 passes for 226 yards and three touchdowns while adding 20 rushing yards on five carries in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: The Dallas offense was stuck in neutral for most of the first half until Prescott hit Michael Gallup (knee) for a 21-yard TD inside the final two minutes of the second quarter, and while the QB attempted to rally the team in the fourth quarter, he eventually ran out of time.

Dominant in statement win
Prescott completed 28 of 39 pass attempts for 330 yards and four touchdowns while rushing for 21 yards on four carries in Sunday's 56-14 rout of Washington.
Analysis: This was one of Prescott's cleanest performances of his career, and he accomplished most of it in the first half alone. The star quarterback's gaudy results are even more impressive when you consider the same Washington defense picked him off twice and held him to 211 passing yards when the two teams met just two weeks ago. Prescott hadn't quite looked like his usual self in the seven games since returning from injury, but this dominant performance against a team that was fighting for its…read more

Modest numbers in division win
Prescott completed 28 of 37 passes for 217 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Cowboys' 21-6 win over the Giants on Sunday. He also netted minus-1 yard on two rushes, lost a fumble and recovered another.
Analysis: With the Giants' offense once again helmed by the perpetually ineffective Mike Glennon, head coach Mike McCarthy could afford to keep things relatively close to the vest offensively once it became clear the Cowboys defense wouldn't be pressed much. That led to another day of modest numbers for Prescott, who did find the end zone on a one-yard touchdown toss to Dalton Schultz late in the third quarter for the final points of the afternoon on either side.

Ineffective on the road
Prescott completed 22 of 39 pass attempts for 211 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions against Washington on Sunday. He added seven rushes for 15 yards and committed a fumble that he recovered.
Analysis: It was an ugly game for Prescott, who began the game reasonably well but struggled in the second half. The sixth-year quarterback let Washington back into the game with a fourth-quarter pick-six to linebacker Cole Holcomb, who Prescott evidently just did not see before making the throw. The Washington defense has played better in recent weeks than it did at the beginning of the season, so perhaps Prescott just got the worst of Washington's unexpected ascent; however, it would be difficult to…read more

Workmanlike effort in win
Prescott completed 26 of 40 passes for 238 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Cowboys' 27-17 win over the Saints on Thursday night. He also rushed three times for minus-3 yards.
Analysis: Prescott averaged a modest six yards per attempt and counted a 41-yard first-half connection with Amari Cooper as his longest completion. However, he made only one notable mistake, a pick which didn't result in any points for the Saints. Prescott failed to throw multiple touchdown passes for only the second time since Week 3, but he still turned in a serviceable fantasy effort overall.

Thanksgiving comeback falls short
Prescott completed 32 of 47 passes for 375 yards and two touchdowns in a 36-33 overtime loss to the Raiders on Thanksgiving. He also gained three yards on his only carry and threw a two-point conversion to Dalton Schultz.
Analysis: The Cowboys' offense once again looked disjointed to begin the game as Prescott had trouble connecting with a somewhat ragtag group of wideouts that was missing both Amari Cooper (COVID-19) and CeeDee Lamb (concussion). The quarterback found his rhythm late, however, and both Michael Gallup and Cedrick Wilson wound up hitting triple digits in receiving yards as Prescott led a second-half comeback that ultimately fizzled in OT. He should get at least Cooper back in the lineup in Week 13, giving…read more

Gets little time in pocket Sunday
Prescott completed 28 of 43 passes for 216 yards with two interceptions in Sunday's 19-9 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: His 5.0 YPA was his worst performance of the season, but Prescott was sacked five times as the Dallas offensive line couldn't offer him much protection, and he was also missing his top two targets once CeeDee Lamb was knocked out of the game with a concussion. Prescott will be hoping to get both Lamb and left tackle Tyron Smith (ankle) back for a Thanksgiving Day clash with the Raiders, but if not the QB's fantasy production could be significantly curtailed once again.

Bounces back in blowout win
Prescott completed 24 of 31 passes for 296 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 43-3 win over the Falcons. He added five yards and a touchdown on two rushing attempts.
Analysis: Prescott made sure to avoid the same fate as last week, when the Cowboys dug themselves in a 16-0 halftime hole, as he capped Dallas' opening drive with a 13-yard touchdown pass to CeeDee Lamb. He added a nine-yard touchdown to Lamb -- who later exited due to an arm contusion -- with 1:10 to go before halftime. Prescott also accounted for all of the second-half points scored by either team when he ran it in himself from four yards out late in the third quarter. Lamb's injury isn't believed to…read more

Produces in garbage time
Prescott completed 19 of 39 passes for 232 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Broncos. He added two rushes for 16 yards.
Analysis: Prescott turned in a disastrous performance for much of the game, as he entered halftime with only 75 passing yards on five completions. While his final stat line suggests that Prescott and the Cowboys picked up their performance in the second half, the vast majority of his production came once the team was down 30-0. Coming off a one-game absence caused by a calf injury, Prescott will look to get back to his prolific form for a Week 10 matchup against Atlanta.

Dallas opened Week 9 prep with Prescott as limited, as he was all of last week, but coach Mike McCarthy relayed to Clarence E.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Prescott (calf) is expected to practice fully Thursday and is on track to play Sunday against the Broncos, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Following a Week 7 bye, Prescott sat out last week's win over the Vikings while he continued to tend to a strained right calf. Because Prescott missed most of last season with a severe injury to the ankle of the same leg, the Cowboys may have just been taking some extra precautions by holding him out Week 8. Prescott took a positive step forward to begin Week 9 prep by practicing on a limited basis Wednesday, and if he does in fact upgrade to full activity Thursday, there's a good chance he'll…read more

Remains limited Wednesday
Prescott (calf) was listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: The Cowboys held what they called a "scaled-back practice" to kick off Week 9 preparations. According to Todd Archer of ESPN.com, Prescott began the session by taking part in all pre-practice work with Dallas' quarterbacks, which was a step up from focusing on rehab before jumping into drills last week. Still, Prescott's reps remained limited, like they were a week ago as he continues to move past a right calf strain. He's aiming to miss just one game as a result of the injury, but Cooper Rush…read more

Looks destined for Week 9 return
Cowboys president Jerry Jones said Tuesday "we have every reason to think [Prescott will] be on the field for us this week," Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports. The quarterback missed Week 8 due to a calf injury.
Analysis: Coach Mike McCarthy expressed similar confidence in Prescott's chances of suiting up Week 9 on Monday, so all indications remain that the star quarterback is trending in the right direction. Per McCarthy, Prescott is expected to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday and then log a full session Thursday. As long as any setbacks are avoided, it looks like fantasy managers can expect Prescott's calf strain to be an issue of the past by the time Sunday's contest against the Broncos kicks off.

Remains game-time call for Week 8
Prescott's (calf) status for Sunday's game against the Vikings remains "up in the air" ahead of the contest's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Schefter notes that backup quarterback Cooper Rush took all the team reps in practice this past week and would be in line to draw the start if Prescott is unable to go. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Prescott is pushing to play and will go through his normal warmup routine prior to the contest before a final call on his status is made 90 minutes prior to kickoff, when Dallas releases its inactive list. Rapoport relays that if the Cowboys have any doubt about Prescott's ability to play through…read more

Game-time decision for Sunday
Prescott (calf) is viewed true "game-time decision" ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Ed Werder of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Prescott himself expected some sort of resolution regarding his status for Sunday's primetime battle, but after a walk-through practice Saturday to test out his injured calf, the team opted to delay the decision longer. Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News believes Prescott will be active for Sunday's game and speculated the latest news is likely some gamesmanship on the part of head coach Mike McCarthy, but in any case, the quarterback's status does look to be up in the air.

Questionable for Sunday night
Prescott (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Minnesota, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Prescott was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday and appears truly questionable for the Sunday night game in Minnesota. Reporters and teammates have suggested the quarterback looked good in practice this week, but head coach Mike McCarthy has preached caution on multiple occasions and even mentioned Friday that Prescott felt a little sore after Thursday's practice. McCarthy said the soreness wasn't anything unusual, but it does reinforce the notion that Prescott continues…read more

Feels sore, should practice Friday
Coach Mike McCarthy said Prescott (calf) is feeling a bit sore but is expected to practice Friday, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: The 28-year-old pushed himself a bit during Thursday's workout and practice, and McCarthy said it's not surprising the quarterback is feeling some soreness as a result. The fact Prescott has that soreness two days from game day -- while also coming off a bye week -- isn't a great sign, and the Cowboys could be cautious with their star signal-caller this weekend. Prescott previously said he wants to play but that decision isn't up to him, and it's clear the team is preparing to potentially face…read more

Another limited showing
Prescott (calf) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Coach Mike McCarthy laid out the plan for Prescott earlier Thursday, stating he would take part in rehab first before moving on to individual drills, at which point the Cowboys would assess to see if he was fit for some team work, according to Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site. Prescott proceeded to do just that, including change of direction and holding a ball after dropping back from center, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com.

Prescott (calf) was officially a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: As expected, Prescott's practice reps were capped coming off the Cowboys' Week 7 bye, which was well-timed after he strained his right calf on his game-winning touchdown toss to CeeDee Lamb in the Week 6 win at New England. During the portion of Wednesday's session open to the media, Prescott focused on rehab work before joining individual drills, where his activity included handoffs and passes during routes on air, per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News.

Prescott (calf) is scheduled to take part in individual drills Wednesday, while backup quarterback Cooper Rush will take more first-team reps in practice, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Head coach Mike McCarthy said he wants to make sure Rush is ready to play, even though Prescott has "improved every day" since straining his calf at the tail end of the Cowboy's Week 6 win over New England. A bye week helped Prescott's chances to avoid a missed game, and McCarthy left the door open for the quarterback to jump in for some team work later in Wednesday's practice if everything goes well with individual drills.

Should practice Wednesday
Prescott (calf) isn't expected to take part in the Cowboys' light practice session Monday following the team's Week 7 bye, but he should be back on the field Wednesday, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report.
Analysis: Prescott is recovering from a right calf strain suffered on the final play of the Cowboys' 35-29 overtime win over the Patriots in Week 6, but a well-timed bye has left Dallas optimistic that the signal-caller will be ready to go for a Week 8 matchup with the Vikings on Halloween.

Expects to be fine
Prescott (calf) expects to suit up without issue after a Week 7 bye, and the results of Monday's medical tests are encouraging, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Prescott sustained a right calf strain during the final play of Sunday's overtime win against the Patriots. The immediate timing of Dallas' bye certainly is lucky, as it looks like Prescott will be able to avoid missing time. The 28-year-old has thrown three or more touchdowns in five of six appearances this season.

Hurts calf on OT winner
Prescott suffered a right calf strain on the final play of Sunday's 35-29 overtime win over New England, Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News reports. Prior to suffering the injury, he completed 36 of 51 passes for 445 yards, three touchdowns and an interception, in addition to running three times for 10 yards and losing a fumble.
Analysis: Prescott hurt himself while throwing the game-winning 35-yard touchdown pass to CeeDee Lamb in overtime. Prior to that play, Prescott found Blake Jarwin and Lamb for a pair of one-yard touchdowns in regulation. He also turned the ball over twice in the red zone. With the Cowboys on bye in Week 7, Prescott will likely have sufficient time to heal up before a Week 8 trip to Minnesota.

Boosts fantasy production in win
Prescott completed 22 of 32 passes for 302 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the Cowboys' 44-20 win over the Giants on Sunday. He also rushed twice for six yards and lost a fumble.
Analysis: After three straight games with what would be considered pedestrian yardage totals by his standards, Prescott bounced back in that department with his second tally of over 300 yards on the season. He also extended his streak of multiple touchdown passes to three games by connecting with CeeDee Lamb, Amari Cooper and Ezekiel Elliott on scoring tosses of 49, 24 and four yards, respectively. Prescott's TD:INT now stands at an elite 13:3 heading into a Week 6 road showdown with the Patriots.

Prescott completed 14 of his 22 pass attempts for 188 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's Week 4 win over the Panthers. He added four rushes for 35 yards.
Analysis: Dallas jumped out to a three-possession lead by late in the third quarter, which limited Prescott to only two passes in the final 17 minutes of the game. However, he was efficient with his opportunities to average 8.5 yards per attempt. Prescott also delivered touchdowns of 35, 23, 18 and six yards -- each of which went to a different receiver.

Analysis: Prescott started by narrowly missing out on a 45-yard touchdown pass to CeeDee Lamb, who was pulled down at the one-yard line before Ezekiel Elliott capped the Cowboys' opening drive with a touchdown rush. The signal-caller then faced pressure in his own end zone on Dallas' next series, causing the ball to slip out of his throwing hand for a fumble that was immediately recovered for a Philadelphia touchdown.

Stellar in regular-season return
Prescott completed 42 of 58 attempts for 403 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the Cowboys' 31-29 loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday night. He also rushed four times for 13 yards and fumbled once but recovered.
Analysis: If there had been any lingering doubts about the fitness of Prescott's previously ailing shoulder and ankle, he unequivocally dispelled them with a sensational season-opening effort. The sixth-year quarterback impressively traded blows with Tom Brady throughout the night, and he displayed particularly remarkable chemistry with the wideout duo of Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb, who were on the receiving end of 20 of Prescott's completions, 243 of his yards and all three of his scores.

Prescott recently had $6.25 million of his 2021 base salary converted into a signing bonus, creating an extra $5 million in cap space for the Cowboys, The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Despite the fact Prescott just signed his new four-year, $160 million contract in March, Dallas is already tinkering with the structure of the deal. The team isn't expected to use the cap space right away but will instead likely carry it forward to 2022 -- a bookkeeping move which could help soften the blow of the dead money on Jaylon Smith's contract, if the team elects to cut him by next spring.

Not on pitch count
Offensive coordinator Kellen Moore said Prescott (shoulder) looked great during Wednesday's practice and shouldn't be on a pitch count moving forward, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: After completing 11 of 12 passes in full-team drills Wednesday afternoon, Prescott is well on his way to the Week 1 start. He may be a bit rusty after the season-ending ankle injury last year and the abbreviated training camp this year, but his track record of production suggests Prescott should be started in a majority of fantasy leagues whenever he's healthy enough to play. He'll likely be a full practice participant after the Cowboys wrap up their preseason against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Looking good for Week 1
Prescott (shoulder) took 18 snaps in 11-on-11 drills at Wednesday's practice and completed 11 of 12 passes, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Earlier reports indicated Prescott would throw in 7-on-7s, but he ended up doing full-team drills instead, apparently looking sharp while throwing passes against defenders for the first time since late July. While the Cowboys aren't likely to rush him back for the final game of the preseason, Prescott is well on his way to receiving the Week 1 start Sept. 9 at Tampa Bay.

Looks sharp in workout Saturday
Prescott (shoulder) completed 51 of 52 passes during a workout before Saturday's preseason game against the Texans, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

"If we were lining up against Tampa [Dallas' Week 1 opponent] tonight, he'd be starting, and we'd feel great about it."
Analysis: Taking the field about 90 minutes before the exhibition contest, Prescott fired the ball around on a variety of short and intermediate routes with Ezekiel Elliott and others acting as his receivers. The QB still hasn't participated in any full team practices since injuring his shoulder in late July, but Saturday's very public performance should quell talk that the Cowboys are overly concerned about his long-term health.

Likely out again this weekend
Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged Wednesday that Prescott (shoulder) is unlikely to play in Saturday's preseason game against Houston, Jori Epstein of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Prescott remained limited Wednesday, his third straight practice after missing nearly three weeks. McCarthy already said he won't play his starting quarterback in the final preseason contest, so the Week 1 matchup with Tampa Bay will mark Prescott's first game action since he suffered a season-ending ankle injury last October.

Coach Mike McCarty said there's "no urgency" to see Prescott (shoulder) play in Saturday's preseason game against Houston, even though the quarterback won't play in the exhibition finale Aug. 29 against Jacksonville, ESPN.com's Todd Archer reports.
Analysis: If Prescott doesn't play this Saturday, he won't suit up at all this preseason. It sounds like that's just fine with McCarthy, who said his quarterback was, "probably in midseason form from the amount of work he put in over the summer, coming out of the OTAs."

Analysis: We aren't likely to see Prescott in the Hall of Fame Game against Pittsburgh on Aug. 5, but he might suit up later in the preseason -- perhaps Aug. 21 vs. the Texans or Aug. 29 vs. Jacksonville.

The team still may limit Prescott's workload once full pads come on, though he says his surgically repaired ankle has been a non-issue so far, noting…read more

Opens camp with full practice
Prescott (ankle) practiced fully Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: As the Cowboys kicked off training camp, Prescott took his usual place with the first-team offense, completing 11 of 16 passes during 11-on-11 drills. The development is a positive one for Prescott, who suffered a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle that ended his season Week 5 last October. In any case, the true final test of his health will come at some point during the preseason, whether it's in the Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 5 or during one of Dallas' three other exhibitions…read more

Practices on first day of camp
Prescott (ankle) is participating in 11-on-11 drills Thursday afternoon at the first practice of Cowboys training camp, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: This comes as no surprise on the heels of coach Mike McCarthy's Wednesday media session in which he revealed his expectation for Prescott to be a full participant throughout camp. McCarthy did leave the door open for the Cowboys to limit Prescott's workload if any issues pop up, but it sounds like the QB is taking his normal snaps so far. He suffered a compound fracture and dislocation of his ankle last October, then signed a four-year, $160 million contract in March.

Should practice fully in camp
Head coach Mike McCarthy reiterated Wednesday that he expects Prescott (ankle) to participate fully in practice once training camp opens, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: That said, McCarthy acknowledged that the idea of the quarterback working fully once camp gets underway is "still a projection," and that Prescott will need to be monitored. Still, things are clearly moving in the right direction for the team's franchise signal-caller, who is bouncing back from a broken ankle that ended his 2020 season in Week 5.

Should be full-go at training camp
Coach Mike McCarthy indicated Tuesday that he anticipates Prescott (ankle) being full-go by the time training camp rolls around, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Considering Prescott was nearly full-go for OTAs, it shouldn't come as a shock that he'll likely be ready to resume his duties under center next month. He didn't get a ton of time to get acclimated to McCarthy's system last year before going down for the season with a compound fracture in his right ankle, but he did complete 68 percent of his 222 pass attempts for 1,856 yards, nine touchdowns and four interceptions over four-plus games, including 450-plus passing yards in each of the three…read more

No issues in OTAs
Prescott didn't take part in full team drills during Tuesday's OTA session, but his ankle didn't appear to be an issue during individual and 7-on-7 drills, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. "I'm pretty much a full-go," Prescott said after the workout. "I'm not being limited or restricted to doing anything. I'm ready to go. I don't know as far as being tackled or my ankle being jerked and stuff under a pile, obviously we're not there yet. But we're far from being there, so I'm good to go, really."
Analysis: Per coach Mike McCarthy, the quarterback is "ahead of schedule" in his recovery from last year's ankle surgery. Prescott won't see any contact until training camp, but he's on track to be a full participant once it begins in July.

Analysis: The 27-year-old was given a 4-to-6 month recovery timeline after undergoing surgery to address the compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle in October, and he also underwent a second cleanup procedure in December.

Coach Mike McCarthy said Prescott is making progress in his recovery from a season-ending right ankle injury, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports. "He's throwing now, doing footwork drills. He's made a lot of progress," McCarthy noted.
Analysis: When he suffered the compound fracture and dislocation in Week 5 of last season, Prescott was leading the NFL in passing with 1,856 passing yards to go with nine touchdowns and four interceptions.

Gets $126 million guaranteed
The Cowboys and Prescott (ankle) agreed to a four-year, $160 million contract, which includes $126 million guaranteed, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Among the terms of the deal, Prescott received a record-setting $66 million signing bonus and will earn $75 million in 2021, Schefter notes. Schefter added that the Cowboys will place the franchise tag on Prescott on Tuesday, which is a procedural move so they can't use the tag on the quarterback again in the future. With his home for the next four campaigns known, Prescott will resume his recovery from a season-ending ankle injury with an aim toward being healthy for training camp.

The Cowboys and Prescott (ankle) reached an agreement on a new contract Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The terms of the deal have not been revealed, but Prescott is destined to avoid the franchise tag for a second straight season and instead will remain in Dallas for the long term.

The 27-year-old quarterback remains on track for camp, but it's uncertain whether he'll be back with the Cowboys.

Prescott (ankle) is making impressive progress in his recovery and is expected to be in the Cowboys' plans for the 2021 season, Adam Maya of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Prescott has been walking on an anti-gravity treadmill and in a pool, and the Cowboys believe he can come back at 100 percent in 2021. In turn, the Cowboys are actively working toward a long-term deal with Prescott after the quarterback played on the franchise tag in 2020.

The Cowboys previously expressed optimism that Prescott, who began 2020 on a record-setting pace through five contests, will be able to participate in offseason workouts as early as late April.

Tops 500-yard mark vs. Browns
Prescott completed 41 of 58 pass attempts for 502 yards, four touchdowns and one interception Sunday against the Browns. He also carried two times for 12 yards in the 49-38 loss to the Browns, and was involved in three two-point conversions -- two passing, and one he ran in himself.
Analysis: Prescott set a new career best in passing yardage as he attempted to help his team battle back from yet another deficit. He connected for two touchdowns with CeeDee Lamb while adding scores to Amari Cooper and Dalton Schultz as well. Unfortunately, Prescott's lone interception on the day came in the final minutes as Dallas looked to draw near after closing a significant gap, sealing another disappointing outcome.

Huge numbers in loss
Prescott completed 37 of 57 passes for 472 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: The showdown against Russell Wilson didn't disappoint as Prescott become only the second quarterback in NFL history to throw for at least 450 yards in back-to-back games. However, this time around his efforts didn't result in a comeback win as his desperation heave into the end zone in the final seconds was intercepted by Ryan Neal. Prescott will look to stay hot in Week 4 against a Browns defense that's already been lit up by Lamar Jackson and rookie Joe Burrow this season.

Lucrative day against Falcons
Prescott went 34-for-47 passing with 450 yards and one passing touchdown, adding 18 yards and three touchdowns on five carries during Sunday's 40-39 win against the Falcons. He also lost a fumble on the Cowboys' second offensive possession of the game.
Analysis: As if the three rushing scores did not already boost him toward a week-winning fantasy performance Sunday, Prescott's 450 passing yards were good for the third-most in his 66 career regular-season outings. Prescott's performance surely was enhanced by game script, as Dallas fell into a 29-10 halftime deficit, forcing the quarterback to put up 28 pass attempts in the third and fourth quarters in order to execute a comeback.

Prescott completed 25 of 39 pass attempts for 266 yards and a touchdown, adding 30 yards on three rush attempts in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Prescott was having a steady night against a tough Rams defense, coming a questionable offensive pass interference call away from potentially tying or taking the lead late in the fourth quarter.

Analysis: Under normal circumstances, Prescott being in contract limbo would have prevented him from participating in on-field activities with his teammates, but at the moment all he's missing are some virtual meetings.

The two sides still have plenty of time to reach an agreement before the July 15 deadline, and there might be a bit less pressure now that spring practices aren't part of the equation.

It's similar to the plan he followed last week prior to suiting up in a 17-9 loss to the Eagles.

Analysis: Coach Jason Garrett suggested prior to the session that Prescott would be a limited participant, but whatever activity the quarterback was able to complete apparently wasn't enough for him to avoid a "DNP" listing on the injury report for a second straight day. Per Todd Archer of ESPN.com, Prescott wasn't seen throwing during the open portion of Thursday's practice and was instead taking part in individual drills, leaving Cooper Rush to direct the first-team offense. According to Jane Slater…read more

Set for another light workout
Coach Jason Garrett said that Prescott (shoulder) is progressing but will be limited in practice Thursday, if the quarterback "does anything at all," Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Prescott went down as a non-participant on Wednesday's report, but since the Cowboys' Christmas Day practice was just a walk-through session, his listing on Thursday's report will provide a better representation of his status heading into Sunday's game against the Redskins. Based on Garrett's comments, Prescott looks set to follow the same practice regimen he followed last week, so there's still a decent chance he enters the regular-season finale without an injury designation. Cooper Rush will…read more

Logs DNP in practice
Prescott (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Prescott battled an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder heading into last Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Eagles, finishing the day with just 25 completions for 265 yards on 44 attempts. While Prescott didn't experience any reported setbacks coming out of the contest, the Cowboys are likely to manage his reps carefully during their final three regular-season practices, with coach Jason Garrett saying Wednesday the quarterback will be "limited at best" to begin the week, per Jon Machota of The…read more

Shut down in tough loss
Prescott completed 25 of 44 passes for 265 yards in Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Whether it was due to his sore shoulder, a big effort on the part of Philly's secondary, or a combination of both, Prescott failed to produce a TD for only the third time all year, and at the worst possible time -- both for Dallas and for those with fantasy shares in the quarterback. Expect him to get plenty of rest during the week as the Cowboys prepare for a must-win game against Washington in Week 17.

Checks out well in throwing session
Prescott was able to throw downfield with no apparent limitations during a workout Saturday, leaving the Cowboys optimistic his sprained right shoulder won't be an issue in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.
Analysis: Prescott has been banged up since Week 14, nursing a sprained left hand and an injured right index finger in addition to the shoulder issue. Though the Cowboys restricted his reps in practice this week on account of the shoulder injury, Prescott enters the all-important Week 16 contest minus a designation. His ability to throw Saturday without any apparent discomfort should embolden Prescott's fantasy managers, especially while the signal-caller takes aim at an Eagles pass defense that has…read more

Cleared to play
Prescott (shoulder) won't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Despite being limited at each practice this week, Prescott has been cleared to make the start in a game that likely will decide the winner of the NFC East. He didn't do any throwing Wednesday or Thursday, and his activity at Friday's practice seems to have been limited to lobbing some short passes during position drills, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports. While his active/inactive status is no longer a concern, it's fair to wonder if Prescott will be able to play at his usual…read more

Throwing during practice
Prescott (shoulder) threw a football during individual drills at Friday's practice, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Previous reports suggested Prescott would be limited to non-throwing activities, but he's apparently made enough progress to at least make some short throws. In any case, the Cowboys have been clear about their expectation for the quarterback to play through his AC joint sprain in Sunday's crucial game against the Eagles. The bigger question is whether Precott will be the best version of himself, or even close to it.

May not throw Friday
Prescott (shoulder) will be a limited practice participant and is unlikely to throw Friday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: The 26-year-old has been limited at practice all week and has yet to throw due to the AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, and it doesn't appear that will change at Friday's practice. The team has indicated to this point that Prescott is still expected to play against the Eagles on Sunday, but realistically he'll need to begin throwing in some capacity in the near future to quell doubts of his availability.

Analysis: According to Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, coach Jason Garrett revealed prior to the session that Prescott wouldn't throw while continuing to rest his sprained right shoulder, so it doesn't come as a surprise that the quarterback went down as a limited participant for the second straight practice.

Not throwing again Thursday
Prescott (shoulder) didn't throw at Thursday's practice, but the Cowboys expect him to suit up Sunday in Philadelphia, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: With an AC joint sprain in his right throwing shoulder, Prescott seems to be following a similar practice regimen to Wednesday, when he was deemed a limited participant. He likely will earn a similar tag Thursday, but the team appears untroubled about his ability to play this weekend. As evidence, owner Jerry Jones told 105.3 The Fan Dallas on Thursday that he's "not worried" about Prescott and is "totally convinced that he'll be in top form." Prescott's status may not receive clarity, though,…read more

Limited in practice Wednesday
Prescott (shoulder) officially was limited at Wednesday's practice, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Prescott came out of Week 14 with a sprained left hand and injured right index finger. While playing through both issues during this past Sunday's win against the Rams, he completed 15 of 23 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns and added 12 yards on seven carries. On Wednesday, it emerged Prescott picked up yet another injury, which teammate Ezekiel Elliott termed as an AC joint sprain in the quarterback's right throwing shoulder, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.com.

Bothered by throwing shoulder
Prescott (finger) will be limited in Wednesday's practice due to a right shoulder injury he picked up during the first half of Sunday's 44-21 win over the Rams, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Prescott also hurt his right index finger in the Week 14 loss to the Bears, but neither that injury nor the shoulder issue seems to pose much threat to his availability for a crucial Week 16 matchup with the Eagles. Coach Jason Garrett said Prescott won't do much throwing at Wednesday's practice but is "fully expected to play" this weekend in Philadelphia. The quarterback seemed fine in the blowout victory over Los Angeles, completing 15 of 23 passes for 212 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Has 'little' finger injury
Coach Jason Garrett said Monday that Prescott is playing through "a little injury to his (right) index finger," Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: During the Fox broadcast of Sunday's 44-21 smackdown of the Rams, analyst Troy Aikman said Prescott had a "hairline fracture on the top of" the finger in question. Aikman was referencing one of the injuries (also a sprained left hand) he sustained in a Week 14 loss at Chicago. According to Archer and Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News, Prescott does not have a fracture. Instead, Prescott's right index finger was smashed against the Bears, and there's a lot of residual bleeding under the…read more

Efficient in big win over Rams
Prescott completed 15 of 23 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 44-21 win over the Rams. He also gained 12 rushing yards on seven carries.
Analysis: The Cowboys relied on their running game to pound the Rams into submission, but Prescott was deadly when called upon, hitting Jason Witten for a 19-yard TD to open the scoring late in the first quarter and then finding a wide-open Tavon Austin in the second quarter for a 59-yard score. Prescott has fallen behind Jameis Winston in the race for the league's passing-yards crown, but he has bigger fish to fry next Sunday in Philadelphia, as a win would lock up the NFC East title for Dallas.

Prescott (hands) practiced in full Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Prescott hasn't missed an offensive snap since Week 1 but nonetheless emerged from last Thursday's loss in Chicago with a pair of injuries in tow. Fortunately, his sprained left hand and injured right index finger didn't impact his practice reps Wednesday, though the digit in question was taped up during the session, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com. Prescott will seek to get the Cowboys back in the win column Sunday against a Rams defense that has given up 18 touchdowns versus nine interceptions in…read more

Has hand sprain, right finger injury
Prescott suffered a sprained left hand and an injury to the right index finger on his right hand during Thursday's 31-24 loss at Chicago, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Prescott had a season-low completion percentage (55.1) Thursday, but by sheer volume he accounted for 334 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions on his 49 official throws. He also didn't fumble, so awry passes were the only indication that he may have been dealing with an injury (or injuries). Coach Jason Garrett expects Prescott to be available for the Cowboys' next game Sunday, Dec. 15 versus the Rams, but the quarterback's practice reps will be interesting to watch in the interim.

Fantasy-friendly numbers in loss
Prescott completed 27 of 49 passes for 334 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Cowboys' 31-24 loss to the Bears on Thursday. He also rushed three times for one yard.
Analysis: Prescott once again satisfied fantasy managers with his performance, but as has increasingly been the case lately, his aesthetically pleasing numbers came attached to a loss. The fourth-year quarterback connected with Amari Cooper from 19 yards out for his one touchdown pass, while exceeding the 300-yard threshold for the second consecutive game and fourth time in the last five overall. The Cowboys' playoff hopes remain alive due to the overall mediocrity of the NFC East, and Prescott will look…read more

Salvages day in garbage time
Prescott completed 32 of 49 passes for 355 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Thursday's 26-15 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: He also gained 25 rushing yards on four carries and completed a two-point conversion to Jason Witten. While the quarterback's final line looks just fine from a fantasy perspective, he struggled for much of the game in the face of a ferocious Buffalo pass rush that sacked him four times and forced two fumbles, one of which Dallas lost. Prescott will try to turn things around for the reeling Cowboys next week on the road against the Bears.

Miserable day in Foxboro
Prescott completed 19 of 33 passes for 212 yards and an interception in Sunday's 13-9 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Between the rain and New England's stifling defense, Prescott came away with his worst performance of the season as the Dallas offense failed to score a touchdown for the first time all year. The fourth-year QB will continue his toughest stretch of the season when the Cowboys host the Bills in Week 13.

Continues stellar play vs. Lions
Prescott completed 29 of 46 pass attempts for 444 yards and three touchdowns Sunday against the Lions. He also carried six times for 18 yards in the 35-27 win.
Analysis: Prescott averaged an impressive 9.7 yards per attempt as he eclipsed the 400-yard mark for the second time this season. He completed touchdown passes to Tony Pollard, Randall Cobb and Ezekiel Elliott while boosting his TD:INT to 9:2 over the last three games. Prescott is playing at an elite level, and although next Sunday's matchup with the Patriots will present some unique challenges, he's still worthy of fantasy consideration as the orchestrator of one of the NFL's best offenses.

Posts gaudy numbers in loss
Prescott completed 28 of 46 pass attempts for 397 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Prescott was asked to carry the offense with Ezekiel Elliott getting stuffed with consistency by the Vikings' front. The 26-year-old was able to answer the bell, posting his third-highest yardage total of the season and throwing for three scores for the fourth time this year. Prescott was unable to clinch the victory for Dallas, but his performance was definitely worthy of a winning fantasy squad.

Tosses three touchdowns in win
Prescott completed 22 of 35 passes for 257 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Monday night's 37-18 win over the Giants. He also rushed three times for 12 yards.
Analysis: Prescott got off to a poor start, throwing a pick on his very first pass, but would rally to put together an otherwise strong showing. His 42-yard touchdown to Blake Jarwin got the Cowboys going before halftime, and then his top two wideouts made similarly special plays in the second half. Michael Gallup acrobatically leapt into the end zone on a 15-yard reception to start the fourth quarter, before Amari Cooper raced 45 yards untouched to effectively close the game out on the next drive. Those…read more
