Dak Prescott has been steadily improving since injuring his thumb in Week 1. However, backup QB Cooper Rush has been a steady substitute thus far in 2022, leading the Cowboys to four straight wins and allowing Prescott extra time to heal.

Dak Prescott (thumb) to participate in QB drills Thursday
Dak Prescott (thumb) will participate in “quarterback school drills” and throw after practice on Thursday, per Mike McCarthy.

Thus, he’ll likely be out for at least another week. Fantasy managers who’ve been stashing Prescott hope he returns in Week 7 when the Cowboys take on a Lions’ defense that has struggled mightily this year.
