LOOK: Cowboys’ Dak Prescott resumes throwing in practice, tosses passes to Amari Cooper

Dak Prescott is not able to push the problem simply but relating to his therapeutic shoulder, however he’s just about where he wants to be — given how a lot time is left earlier than the season opener in opposition to Tom Brady and the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 2-time Pro Bowler suffered a shoulder pressure two weeks in the past and pulled himself from observe early as a precaution, and principally hasn’t been allowed to throw since, because the Dallas Cowboys medical workers prescribes numerous relaxation. So when proprietor Jerry Jones noted the injury had “improved dramatically” towards the tip of final week, it appeared all was/goes in keeping with plan.

And, to that time, Prescott was seen within the Tuesday walk-through tossing passes to four-time Pro Bowl receiver Amari Cooper — (bodily unable to carry out) checklist solely hours prior. The 2 are losing no time getting again to establishing their chemistry after having not been on the sphere collectively since final October, when Prescott went down with a season-ending fractured ankle. Prescott was out there to do managed work in OTAs and minicamp, however Cooper was recovering from offseason ankle surgical procedure. 

A lot to the Cowboys’ pleasure, they’re each on the observe area once more and [slowly] working their approach again to regular as one of many extra prolific QB/WR duos within the NFL.

In all, Prescott tossed 10 passes to Cooper from various ranges, and with the coaching workers overseeing the session.

“Dak’s persevering with to progress in a extremely great way,” offensive coordinator Kellen Moore advised media. “… He’ll be able to go as we draw nearer to September.”

“We’re being cautious,” Prescott mentioned throughout halftime of the Corridor of Fame Recreation by way of teleconference from Oxnard, California, as his Cowboys took on the Pittsburgh Steelers. “We’re taking it day-to-day. Clearly, it is 5 weeks earlier than the season opener, so I’ve acquired a whole lot of time. I’ll use that point to get myself prepared for that recreation.”

The quantity of expectations and strain on Prescott and the Cowboys in 2021 stack greater than the summit of Mount Olympus, so the earlier he and his staple of weapons can regain their chemistry, the higher. And with Cooper again within the combine — anticipated to be ramped up in deliberate style to be prepared for Week 1 — all indicators level to the Cowboys offense once more being wholesome and able to doubtlessly bounce again from a dismal 6-10 end to the 2020 season that was fueled largely by the absence of Prescott and different key gamers, e.g. Tyron Smith, La’el Collins and Zack Martin (a number of video games). 

And if they’ll hit a number of of CBS Sports’ bold predictions for them this season, it’ll undoubtedly be what Prescott predicted it may very well be when requested earlier this offseason: “very, very particular”. And because it seems, as soon as once more, rumors of his supposed demise have been significantly exaggerated.
