Dak Prescott Injury Updates | Shark Bites

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott completed 14 of 24 attempts for 153 yards with 1 TDs and 3 INTs in Week 5’s loss vs. the 49ers. It sure seems like this guy has a bad case of the whoopsies. Since returning from a thumb injury in Week 7 of last season, Prescott has thrown 15 INTs in 16 regular season games. He’s going to remain off the fantasy radar in 1QB leagues until there’s some demonstrative improvement. Next week, he’ll face off against the Chargers.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott completed 23 of 37 attempts for 206 yards with 1 TD and 2 INTs in Sunday's Divisional Round loss vs. the 49ers. The veteran QB also added 22 rushing yards on 4 carries in the contest. Prescott fell back into his ways of throwing risky passes after a stellar performance last week vs. the Buccaneers in the Wild Card round, and the resurfacing of this turnover issue couldn't have come at a worse time. He'd had a 7-game INT streak prior to last week's contest. Prescott's 15 INTs in 12 games led the NFL in the regular season, though averaging 16.6 fantasy points per game with a stabilizing plate in his thumb could be worse. We expect Prescott to return to the QB1 conversation in 2023.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (thumb) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll play vs. the Lions on Sunday for the 1st time since the opener. There’s obviously risk to a QB returning from a throwing-thumb injury. But the ceiling is lofty against Detroit’s 28th-ranked QB defense.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is a "long shot" to return for the Week 6 game against the Eagles. Prescott would reportedly need to make "significant strides" early this week to have a chance to play in that game. The original return timeline from his thumb surgery was 4-6 weeks. Today marks 4 weeks since the initial injury. We'll keep watching for updates on Prescott's return. For now, expect Cooper Rush to remain the starter through at least Week 6.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is "eyeing" next week's game against the Rams for a "possible" return from his thumb injury. We'll certainly be tracking the QB's status throughout the week. The combo of surgery on his throwing thumb and a good defense on the other side of that matchup would have us wary of playing Prescott in fantasy football lineups right away.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott told ESPN's Lisa Salters that he expects to be back from his thumb injury in a couple of weeks. He intimated that could be as soon as Week 4 against Washington. We'd bet on Week 5 actually being the earliest. Prescott did get stitches removed from the injured hand Monday, though. ESPN's Todd Archer reports that the QB's grip strength will play a big part in determining when he can get back into the lineup. We'll keep watching Prescott's progress.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday morning that QB Dak Prescott isn't going on IR for his thumb injury because he believes the QB has a chance to return within the next 4 games. We'll assume this is based on more than just optimism or gut feeling for Jones. But we also wouldn't plan on using Prescott in fantasy football lineups anytime within that range.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is expected to miss 6-8 weeks with his thumb injury, ESPN's Todd Archer reports. Prescott is meeting with a hand specialist on Monday, but the expectation is that he'll need a pin and plate inserted to stabilize his fractured joint. The short end of that 6-8 week timetable would have Prescott back for Week 8. But Dallas has a Week 9 bye, so Week 10 might be the most likely return date for Dak. His absence is obviously a big blow to all of the Cowboys' skill-position players. Prescott is cuttable in fantasy leagues without an IR spot.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says QB Dak Prescott needs surgery on his right thumb and will be out "a few weeks," according to Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk. Prescott suffered the injury late in Sunday night's loss to the Buccaneers. It's obviously a huge loss for the Dallas offense, especially high profile fantasy pass-catchers WR CeeDee Lamb and TE Dalton Schultz. Cooper Rush is the backup, but we wouldn't be surprised to see Dallas try to make a move for another QB.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (ankle) isn’t listed on the final Week 1 injury report. He was limited on Thursday but was back to full participation on Friday. The ankle isn’t a concern heading into Sunday night’s opener vs. the Bucs.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (calf) is not listed on the final Week 9 injury report. He put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. ESPN's Ed Werder reported Thursday that the Cowboys have an "unlimited" game plan for Prescott vs. Denver this weekend. He’s safe to get back into fantasy lineups.

ESPN's Ed Werder reported on NFL Live that the Cowboys have an "unlimited" game plan for QB Dak Prescott (calf) this week. Werder said that means the team will take full advantage of Prescott's mobility outside the pocket. Dallas played it extremely safe with this calf injury, so we're not expecting Prescott to be at all limited vs. Denver on Sunday.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott downplayed his calf injury after Sunday's overtime win in New England. "I’ll be fine," Prescott said. "I’ve got a lot of confidence in myself and the medical team. I feel good ... It doesn’t hurt as bad, obviously, when you score and win the game. I just came down funny and didn’t like what I felt.” Prescott was in a walking boot after the game, though, and walking with a "significant limp," according to The Athletic's Jon Machota. He's schedule for an MRI on Monday, so we should learn more soon. Prescott gets a perfectly timed Week 7 bye.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (shoulder) was listed as a full participant on the 1st official practice report of the season on Monday. His surgically repaired ankle isn't even on the injury report. It's confirmation that Prescott will be under center for Thursday night's opener vs. the Bucs.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Sunday that QB Dak Prescott (shoulder) is "good to go" for the start of the season after a nice week of practice. “He really turned it loose and was none the worse for it," Jones said. Prescott got limited practice reps this offseason as he rehabbed ankle and then shoulder injuries. But he's returning to the same offense with the same group of weapons. There's more risk with Prescott than the rest of the top-end fantasy QBs -- but his ceiling easily climbs into the top 3.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is back to full practice participation. “I thought he looked great,'' OC Kellen Moore said Thursday, referring to Prescott's Wednesday workout. "We’re not looking at anything from a limitation standpoint ... We're just playing ball at this point. We're fired up." Obviously, there's always chance of a re-injury, but Dallas has clearly been playing it cautiously with their franchise passer. It sounds like we should feel confident in drafting Prescott in fantasy football leagues.
