Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy revealed during Wednesday’s media availability that Dak Prescott will be throwing on the side with the rehab group during practice.
He also will throw to receivers at the end of practice, but Cooper Rush is being prepared to be the starting quarterback against the Eagles on Sunday. McCarthy still considers Prescott in the “medical, rehab phase.”
This marks the quarterback’s first day of throwing since he fractured his thumb against the Buccaneers in Week 1. Prescott did have surgery, but he was never added to the injured reserve. The timeline for his return was six to eight weeks, and Monday marked week four.
