Dak Prescott: Dallas Cowboys warned over QB's health after Jerry Jones' comments

Dak Prescott might need to stay away from the Dallas Cowboys for a few more weeks dispute his improved health, Robert Griffin III has claimed.

Whenever you lose the face of your franchise, and even more so if that face is a quarterback, it’s natural to think that some doom and gloom might set in as you look to what might be something of a bleak couple of weeks or even months, and that’s exactly what the Dallas Cowboys were looking at after Week 1.

They had just lost their opening game of the season to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, doing so without managing to score a touchdown in the process, the only team that failed to get into the endzone in Week 1, and looked to be in big trouble at quarterback with Dak Prescott suffering an injury to his thumb on his throwing hand.

That meant handing the role over to Cooper Rush, a quarterback who had only ever started one game in the NFL before and had attempted just 50 passes in total. But in a strange turn of events, things haven’t been too bad under his stewardship as the Cowboys won both of their two games since and are looking pretty decent overall, in large part thanks to the defense and running game stepping up.

In fact things have gone so well, there have been talks to suggest that the Cowboys could stick with Rush even when Prescott comes back from injury, something that owner Jerry Jones would seemingly be in favour of, hinting that a ‘quarterback competition’ would be good for the team as it would be a signal that the team are doing well.

Prescott’s return to the team could be coming sooner than we might have initially believed, as Jones stated recently that his recovery from the injury has been remarkable, with the only question being how long it will take him to get in
