FRISCO, Texas -- Dak Prescott is sitting on a table inside the Dallas Cowboys' weight room. A small green resistance band is attached to his right ankle and almost mundanely the quarterback moves his foot side to side.
Three sets, 20 reps each. Then he moves the foot up and down. Three more sets, 20 reps each.
It's four days before the Cowboys play the Carolina Panthers, and Prescott is in the middle of a process that he, the Cowboys' strength and conditioning staff, athletic training staff, coach Mike McCarthy and Prescott's personal physical therapist, Luke Miller, have designed to get the quarterback physically ready to play each week.
