FRISCO, Texas -- Dak Prescott had an opening to complete the pass as he sprinted to his right, but Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch closed down that space with two steps and a dive, and he came up with an interception.
It was a highlight-worthy play by the third-year player during an early June minicamp practice. After the interception, Vander Esch remained on the ground for a little longer than normal. That brief pause, which had players calling for an athletic trainer and coach Mike McCarthy, seemed to raise the same worry and questions that have lingered about his health since the Cowboys drafted him No.
