It’s time to rejoice, Cowboys fans: Dak Prescott is back!
After suffering an injury to the thumb on his throwing hand in a Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers, Prescott has been medically cleared and is widely expected to make his return on Sunday when the Cowboys host the Lions. Backup Cooper Rush did an admirable job in his place, going 4-1 as the starter, and the Cowboys are in a great spot with their franchise quarterback returning.
Dallas stepped up in a big way during Prescott’s absence: the defense played lights out, the special teams made impact plays nearly every time they stepped on the field, and the offense did just enough to scrape by despite all of the challenges they faced.
