Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is making progress as he recovers from the September 12 surgery on his throwing thumb.
Despite Prescott’s Week 1 injury, the Cowboys have fared incredibly well, winning three straight games with backup quarterback Cooper Rush under center.
On Monday, Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy said he wants to see Prescott practice for a full week before returning to the field.

"So, all of those things are on go and I don't know that as we bid bye to each day if considering the injury, considering the location of the injury, I don't know that you could make any more progress.

While Jones did not rule out Prescott for the Cowboys' Week 5 game against the Los Angeles Rams, he did say that Prescott is unable to grip the ball well enough to play on Sunday as of now.
