Dak Prescott Ready to Start Cowboys Season Opener Despite Injury, Jerry Jones Says

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said quarterback Dak Prescott would've played Saturday night if it was a regular-season game as he continues to make progress in his recovery from a shoulder injury.

"He threw with authority and accuracy before the game," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan (via Jon Machota of The Athletic). "If we were lining up against Tampa tonight, he'd be starting and we'd feel great about it."

Prescott has missed practice time and sat out all three of the Cowboys' preseason contests, including Saturday's 20-14 loss to the Houston Texans, but Jones sounds confident the franchise quarterback will be available Sept.
