There was an inclination that Saturday’s preseason against the Arizona Cardinals at AT&T Stadium had a chance be ugly for the Dallas Cowboys before the game when it was officially announced that quarterback Dak Prescott, running back Ezekiel Elliott and left tackle Tyron Smith and linebacker Sean Lee would sit out to prevent injuries.
Never mind that it meant that Elliott would sit out the entire preseason, he didn’t play in the first two games and no starters will play in Thursday’s final at the Houston Texans, nor that Prescott would go 22 days without any game work before the Sept.
