Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott leaves practice with muscle strain in right shoulder, will 'be cautious and smart about it'

OXNARD, Calif. -- Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott left Wednesday's practice early with soreness in his right throwing arm.

A team spokesperson said Prescott felt the soreness early in practice and "did not want to push it," but he was not concerned about it. The ensuing examination was termed "purely precautionary," and an MRI showed Prescott has a muscle strain in his right shoulder. He will be treated and further evaluated on a day-to-day basis, the team said in a a statement later Wednesday.

"I felt some soreness when making certain throws today, and I really just decided not to push things too far," Prescott said in the statement.
