Cowboys Issue Unexpected Dak Prescott Health Update

The Cowboys issued an unexpected Dak Prescott health update on Wednesday.

Coming out of last week’s disappointing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas no longer controls its own destiny.

In order to make the playoffs, the Cowboys need to win against the Dwayne Haskins-less Washington Redskins and then have the Eagles lose to the New York Giants.

“Obviously he was able to play in the ballgame so hopefully he’ll get on the same path where he is able to go on Sunday.”

Another update on Prescott’s status will likely come a little later this week. Obviously Dallas will need him as close as possible to 100 percent if the team hopes to have any shot at making the playoffs.
