The silver lining to Dak Prescott’s current shoulder injury and absence from practice

It’s less than ideal Dak Prescott is currently practicing on a limited basis due to a muscle strain in his right shoulder. It’s an injury that should remedy itself with a little rest, but in the meantime the Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback is out of commission for an unspecified amount of time, at least when it come to actually throwing passes. His backups now have an opportunity to shine during his absence.

Believe it or not, but Dak Prescott’s shoulder injury could actually be a blessing in disguise. As someone who always tries to find the silver lining in things, Dak’s absence from practice gives Mike McCarthy and his coaching staff the opportunity to further evaluate the backup quarterback position to determine what the best course of action is for the 2021 season.
