Dak Prescott officially cleared, to start Week 7 against the Lions
The Dallas Cowboys are getting star quarterback Dak Prescott back in the mix as they look to rebound after last week’s loss to the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles.
In a move many expected, Prescott has officially been cleared to return to action and will start Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. Head coach Mike McCarthy made the announcement during his weekly press conference on Wednesday.
Prescott has been sidelined since suffering a thumb injury in the Cowboys’ season-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While Dallas boasted a 4-1 record with Cooper Rush starting in Prescott’s stead, this news couldn’t come at a better time for Dallas. Rush threw three interceptions in last week’s loss to Philadelphia and had regressed after starting the season strong.
