Dak Prescott on shoulder injury: 'I'll be good go to Sunday'

Dak Prescott is dealing with a shoulder injury to his throwing arm, but the Dallas Cowboys quarterback is confident he’ll be “good to go” Sunday.

Speaking with reporters Thursday, Prescott said he has no doubt he will play, per Jon Machota of The Athletic.

Dak Prescott has no doubt that he’ll play against the Eagles on Sunday. He’s been getting constant treatment and has played through a similar shoulder injury multiple times in college.

“I’m getting better. It’s all improving. I’ll be good to go Sunday.”

These comments echo what Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said about Prescott’s ability to play, and play well, Sunday, despite the shoulder injury.

Prescott also expressed no concern about anything other than just some pain.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott has no concern that swelling in AC joint will sideline him vs. Eagles. Dealt with this senior year of college. Painful, but more annoying than debilitating.

Would he miss a lower-stakes game? “Not at all.”
Will he play less physically? “Won’t change.”

However, it’s crystal clear that the injury suffered by Prescott is no small issue.

Amari Cooper to me said he figured something was wrong with Dak Prescott during the Rams game because he told Michael Gallup that he wasn't going to throw the RPO no matter what the read was. Cooper: "That is not like Dak, so I knew something was up."

The Cowboys may not see Prescott throw the ball at all this week during practices as they prepare for their pivotal Week 16 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. It’s as must-win a game as you’ll see in the NFL, as the winner will take control of the NFC East with one week remaining.
