Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is hoping to return sooner than expected. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Prescott is aiming for next week’s game against the Rams to return from his right thumb injury.
Prescott has begun to grip and throw the football for the first time since he had surgery, according to Schefter.
Prescott injured his thumb in the first game of the season against Tampa Bay, with an initial diagnosis that he would be sidelined for six to eight weeks following surgery. However, Dallas did not place Prescott on injured reserve, and the quarterback has been progressing well in his recovery.
