Practicing on Thursday should have Prescott on track to play in Sunday’s home game against the Denver Broncos.
The Cowboys quarterback also had a good day on Monday, which suggests he could be able to play soon.
Mike McCarthy didn’t talk to Dak Prescott today, but he spoke with associate athletic trainer Britt Brown, who was with Dak earlier in the day. Brown told McCarthy that Dak “had a really good day.”
