Twitter: Prescott starting "would be surprising"

[MountaineerCowboy]

I hope you’re not serious. He’s one of the toughest QBs we’ve ever had. Go look at some of the hits he’s taken over the years and stayed in the lineup. He never missed a start until last season and it took a devastating injury.

I'd never think he'd miss a game because his calf is sore.

2016-2019 Dak would never.

Some keep pointing to what Vegas is saying. So Vegas knows for sure that Dak isn't going to play and believes that Cooper Rush is going to keep the Cowboys within 7 points of the Vikings?

If he misses the game it’s not because of him it’s a coaches/team decision. Organizations are much more careful with QBs these days because of the amount of money they make and how valuable they are to your success. Even the rules are bent to protect them. It’s not like it was in the 90s or decades before. This year is unlike any season we’ve had it’s 17 games.

I don't know why you believe the players get the decision to decide whether or not they get to play. And that they get to overrule a team medical staff who has determined that it's not safe for them to play.

From where?

Draftkings Sportsbook. Actually the last time I looked it was Wednesday. The line was Dallas -2. It's still too quick to move 5 points without something abnormal being in play.

So then he lied after the Patriots game when he said he was fine.

Or maybe he meant he himself is fine, he gets paid either way.

Enjoy Cooper Rush and 5-2.

Our fans are such catty drama queens, it's embarrassing.

So if the line stays at 5, then it must mean that Vegas either has a lot of faith in Cooper Rush to keep the game close or they don't think that Kirk Cousins and the Vikings are good enough to beat a Cooper Rush Cowboys team by a lot of points.

Not playing has nothing to do with soreness. It has to do with the fact that playing could ruin the healing process and make it much worse. Also adds risk for achilles injury.

Hold on. On Wednesday the line was Dallas -2
Today it's Minnesota -3

That's a 5 point swing since Wednesday. I didn't look at the lines since Wednesday, so I don't know if the line moved slowly, over 2 days, or overnight. Just that it moved 5 points in 3 days. That by itself is highly abnormal.

Yet it didn't move bigger than that for Vegas to be so sure that Dak isn't playing.

All I'm going to say is that they are very confident or they just would've taken the game off the board entirely.

Should it? Vegas doesn't care who wins, just that the money for both is around even. Put the line too high and everyone jumps to one sided betting.

We have another Bingo!

So who is telling the truth or actually knows what's going on?

Never do this to one of my threads again.

According to an article written by Calvin Watkins a few hours ago, Dak has been medically cleared to play, but the Cowboys are waiting to see how he feels Sunday morning.

Here's the quote:

"Multiple sources said Prescott has been cleared to play but the Cowboys will take a cautious approach with his health.

Prescott received platelet-rich plasma injections for his strained right calf muscle earlier this week to help in the healing process, multiple sources said."

 

[Flamma]

If I had to guess I would say Dak is playing. How bad can the calf be to need more than 2 weeks? The only thing that bothers me now is the line moving 5 points. I don't know exactly why it moved that much, I just know it has to do with Dak.

 

[Zman5]

Dak wouldn't have made it in the 90s.

You are right. Dak in the 90s would have been a baby/toddler/child. I doubt he could have played QB for us then.

He feels better now.

do you?
