NOTES: McCarthy said RT Terence Steele would begin the week as the starter despite La'el Collins returning from a five-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. “I know he’s doing everything he can to get ready.”
“Obviously our job descriptions are a little different, but feeling good running around, then all of a sudden, I’ve got a 300-pounder pushing me back and it was kind of like, ‘Oh, not ready to go yet,’” Martin said. Martin tried to play through it, but in the second game with the injury, he aggravated it enough to end his season. He missed the final five games last year with a calf injury that he initially sustained in practice. Right guard Zack Martin knows a little bit about what Prescott is going through. “Cooper is a guy who is able to laser it. “I’ve had a lot of time with Coop just from where my role was at my first two years, running the scout team and stuff,” tight end Dalton Schultz said. Rush has played in relief of Prescott six times, but never started in the NFL. Prescott was out for the season with a compound fracture of his right ankle when Dallas visited Minnesota last year and won 31-28 behind backup Andy Dalton.Īfter Dalton signed with Chicago in hopes of starting there (he has since been replaced by rookie Justin Fields), Rush regained the spot he once had behind Prescott. “I know between now and when the bye started, he’s been doing everything he can to make sure that he’s able to play in this game. “We all know the competitor Dak is,” running back Ezekiel Elliott said Wednesday. He said he was “fine” and still just wanted reporters to have fun speculating on his status against the Vikings (3-3). Prescott vowed not to miss any time while wearing a walking boot in his postgame session with reporters after the 35-29 victory over the Patriots, which extended the Dallas winning streak to five games.īy Monday, the 2016 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year was wandering around the team's facility without the boot, as seen when Prescott appeared briefly near the area where reporters were talking to other players. So we’ve got to make sure we’re getting Cooper ready too.” “We won’t make that determination on if he’s a full go until we get to that point. “I just think it’s a matter of trying to make sure Cooper is ready and to make sure Dak is getting what he needs until really Dak clears the threshold of the rehab component,” McCarthy said before practice.
