Cowboys News: Top rook has early PR slip, Prescott ready to play now

In other news, Dak Prescott’s startling injury update, Leighton Vander Esch isn’t out yet, and a former fan favorite is on the open market.

Cowboys fans are still getting to know the new guys, but the team’s first-round pick may have already put his foot in his mouth with a tone-deaf way of describing what he thinks he brings to the Dallas defense. Elsewhere in the rookie room, a Day Three selection is hearkening back to one of the franchise’s most flamboyant stars with a social media post. The big man from Kentucky hopes to be plugging holes in the run game, and an undrafted tight end hopes to do something he was seldom asked to in college.

Elsewhere, starting quarterback Dak Prescott makes a startling proclamation about his comeback as he puts some of his newly-earned contract money into a new business venture. All that, plus a former fan favorite is back on the open market, Leighton Vander Esch isn’t packing his bags quite yet, and questions remain at the free safety spot. That’s all ahead in this edition of News and Notes.
