Prescott will play when Dr. Jerry says he’s ready.

Finally someone with a brain.

Jerry tomorrow, " I know Dak, and he's as tough as they come. He doesn't need to practice to play this weekend cause his will to win is so great. I know he's ready whenever I say he's ready"

Yah Jerry, just like Zeke last year eh?

He needs to be 100%, no sense to hurry him back. It would be different if they were 1-3. Get to 100% before a return because he’ll need to be the starting QB for the 2nd half playoff push.

Yeah, lets pretend like MM is making this call.

We all know who the decision maker for the Cowboys is and it ain't the coaching staff.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

This is not a different timeline than we initially heard

To me having to take a snap with the ball being jammed up into you hands is the most troublesome part at this point. It’s not like the ball is being placed into your hands gently.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

how about 8-10 weeks? that should keep him off the field till end of season!
he needs to log some time in on his sleep # bed and get some more clarity on how to play qb.

I've heard a clear-eyed view can do wonders for a QB.

Nobody is bringing Dak back into the starting lineup until after Philly. It is just not happening.

Well if they were telling the truth on Sunday and he still has swelling it's hard to imagine he'd play this week. I think even next week is questionable.

 

[Calvin2Tony2Emmitt2Julius]

Ok so its settled then Dak is not playing Sunday . Let's go Cooper Let's go Cowboys

 

[ChronicCowboy]

If Rush beats the Rams, he’s playing against Philly. If he beats Philly, Jerry may have to sit down with Dak.

I wouldn't rush a throwing hand Injury. I know he's a competitor and wants to get back, but I don't want to see or hear about off target passes or fumbles being a product of his thumb not being 100%. If it doesn't feel or look right gripping and throwing the football give it more time.

exactly, he should not come back till it is fully healed.
There is no reason for him to rush back as team is winning without him.
Dak is just getting worried he might lose his job as romo lost his.
And jerry lol , no telling what is going on in that mind
