The Dallas Cowboys are preparing backup quarterback Cooper Rush to make his fifth straight start in place of the injured Dak Prescott on Sunday night at the Philadelphia Eagles.
But Prescott is continuing to inch closer to a return after missing the last four games with a fractured right thumb.
He was an official participant in practice Thursday for the first time since suffering the injury in the season-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and undergoing surgery on Sept. 12.
