Sidelined since opener with thumb injury
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy: Cooper Rush has “put us in a good spot. (Dak Prescott) is going to be cleared officially. …The expectation is for Dak to be cleared today or tomorrow” and return to practice Wednesday. (Michael Gehlken on Twitter)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Rush and the defense did yeoman’s work in leading the Cowboys to a 4-1 record in Prescott’s absence, but the former’s shortcomings were exposed in Sunday night’s loss. Prescott gets one of the best matchups he could have asked for in Week 7 with the Lions. Most of his fantasy managers should feel good about putting Prescott right back into their starting lineups. His return also should serve as a boon to CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup and Dalton Schultz while opening things up a bit for Ezekiel Elliott.
