Cowboys fans just got a Dak Prescott injury scare that can't be ignored

Dak Prescott finally got a functional defensive performance in the Dallas Cowboys' thumping of the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night. While that was long overdue, the Cowboys' season still hinges on Prescott playing at a Pro Bowl level every week.

Of course, that will require Prescott starting under center the rest of the way. So Cowboys fans' hearts might have skipped a beat on Wednesday when Prescott appeared on the first injury report of the week with a hip ailment.

While alarming and should not be ignored, Brian Schottenheimer said the injury is "nothing major" and that the Cowboys will be cautious with him in practice because of the short week.
