Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is on schedule to return to the football field for the team's season opener on Sept. 9 against the Buccaneers, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Prescott, 28, suffered a right latissimus strain during training camp and is recovering from last season's ankle injury. The two-time Pro Bowler has not faced any "setbacks" in his rehab process and could have played in Saturday's preseason game against the Texans, per Pelissero.
Instead, Prescott will not take any chances, only throwing before the game.
Prescott's latest update refutes what ESPN's Adam Schefter said that the quarterback may operate at less than 100 percent this season.
