FRISCO, Texas — Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and his surgically-repaired right thumb are improving. He threw to receivers for the first time in practice on Wednesday and zip on his passes, by all accounts.
But he has not yet been medically cleared to play, making his return for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles (5-0) a no go.
Coach Mike McCarthy said the Cowboys (4-1) plan to start Cooper Rush at quarterback for the fifth straight week.
