Prescott not training because of ankle soreness

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is being held out of today’s light training with ankle soreness after the joint practice yesterday with the LA Rams.

The franchise labeled it “precautionary reasons,” and it is not considered a big problem. Dallas begins the preseason at the end of the weekend vs. the Rams, but Dak will miss that match. Prescott has not competed in a preseason match since Mike McCarthy became manager 4 years ago.

Dallas had their most competitive practice of training camp yesterday; the quarterback, who turned 31 in the past month, did not appear to be limited in his movements.

In July, Dak briefly wore a walking boot after what was described as a right foot sprain after some workouts ahead of the Cowboys camp.

In 2020, the Dallas quarterback sustained a fractured and dislocated right ankle in a Week 5 victory vs. the NY Giants. Prescott returned to the next campaign and missed 1 match due to a calf strain.
