With these players out, coach Brian Schottenheimer will depend on the Prescott-Lamb partnership to upset the Eagles.
Will Dak Prescott play vs Eagles?
Dak Prescott is set to play in the Dallas Cowboys vs the Philadelphia Eagles clash on Thursday. The star QB has fully recovered from a 2024 hamstring injury; he’s confirmed ready, aiming to leverage his 9-4 career record against Philly.
The 32-year-old underwent surgery for a partial avulsion of his right hamstring.
Speaking about his recovery, Prescott said: "I think first and foremost, it was about getting healthy. And once I got healthy, I could see progress. And it was about pushing myself each and every day, and I see a guy who is going into year 10, much better than he was last year, the year before that, or I've ever been… Just with the experience of this game, having the teammates and the players that I have around me, getting into a new year with a new coach and a new energy with such a youthful team, I see somebody who feels young again.”
