News: Cowboys cautious with Prescott, Lawrence off PUP , defense outshining offense

The Cowboys aren’t in a rush to get Prescott back throwing, but there’s plenty of business ahead of the Hall of Fame game. The latest news and notes.

Dak Prescott hasn’t done much since he was diagnosed with a shoulder strain. In an attempt to be more conservative, the Cowboys have scaled back his rehab. DeMarcus Lawrence was named to the PUP list to start training camp after a back procedure in the offseason. He’s worked diligently after and during practice, and on Tuesday passed his physical and can now begin working his way back onto the field.

Amari Cooper has been out as well as he’s rehabbed from an ankle injury. He’s lighter than in years past and wants to be the best version of himself yet in 2021. Dallas’ training camp has seen players on offense and defense step up their game however head coach Mike McCarthy says the latter is ahead of the former and he praised their mental preparation. Michael Gallup’s role, the diversity of Micah Parsons skill set, how CeeDee Lamb and Trevon Diggs make each other better and more grabbed the headlines in Tuesday’s news and notes.
