The Dallas Cowboys have their field general back. Quarterback Dak Prescott, who began throwing again for the first time last week since a Week 1 broken thumb, is back in control. The timing couldn’t be better for the two-time Pro Bowler, after backup Cooper Rush’s luck ran out in the Week 6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. On Wednesday, the team’s walkthrough before their Week 7 home contest where they’ll host the Detroit Lions saw the return of Prescott to the field as he has been fully cleared medically.
On the opposing sideline, the Lions will be looking to climb out of the NFC North basement and improve on their 1-4 record. Coming off a bye week, they have a long list of players who are dealing with medical conditions. The list is more noteworthy because having eight players completely out after a week off is significant. Here’s a look at the initial injury report for both teams.
