Dak returns: It wasn’t quite Michael Jordan’s announcement, but asked if he’s returning to the Cowboys’ starting lineup, quarterback Dak Prescott said simply, “I am.” That comes after Cooper Rush filled in admirably, but then lost the last of five starts on Sunday night against Philadelphia. Prescott’s been out with a fractured thumb on his throwing hand since partway through the season opener. Now the NFC East can really get weird.
Thumbs down: Speaking of bum thumbs, Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers has one, too, though he’s set to start against Washington this weekend.
