Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is reportedly scheduled to take another step forward in his recovery from a thumb injury that has sidelined him for the last few weeks.
According to ESPN’s Todd Archer, Prescott will have the stitches removed from his surgically repaired right thumb before Dallas’s Monday night game against the Giants. While his ability to return to action will be determined by his ability to grip the football, the step is considered to be a significant sign of progress in his recovery.
The latest report about Prescott’s status adds legitimacy to the optimism that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has expressed about his starting quarterback’s return timeline.
