Dak Prescott

The Cowboys held Dak Prescott out of practice as a precautionary measure on Friday after the quarterback experienced ankle soreness, saying “He will be fine” in a statement.

The report comes from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Prescott’s lower extremity made headlines in early July when the Cowboys quarterback was seen sporting a walking boot during a fishing trip. Conflicting reports cited the boot as a precautionary measure used to protect the ankle that was devastatingly injured during the 2020 season, though Ian Rapoport suggested a minor foot sprain was in play. Unless this results in an extended absence, fantasy managers can assume this is part of a pre-planned load management program. The situation will be monitored though.
