was that Dak Prescott would play Sunday against the Eagles. The Cowboys quarterback wasn’t about to miss the team’s biggest game of the season.Despite being limited in practice all week
Womens Jake Elliott Jersey , Prescott does not have a designation.The question now is: Will the AC joint injury affect him?Prescott’s teammates expect him to be the same as he ever was.“Dak is one of the greatest football players, one of the greatest leaders, one of the greatest people I’ve ever been around,” Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee said Friday, via Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News. “How he practices day in and day out, how he plays in the game, how he plays through pain
Derek Barnett Jersey , how hard he plays — he’s a guy that’s inspired us since he’s walked in here. Just knowing who he is as a person, the way he’s going to battle through things and the way he plays, it’s an inspiration. We love to rally around him.”Prescott did some soft toss during Friday’s work. He said Thursday the expectation is for him to throw Saturday.Left tackle Tyron Smith (eye) also does not have a designation.Linebacker Joe Thomas (knee), cornerback C.J. Goodwin (thumb) and receiver Devin Smith (knee) were given questionable designations. Linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (neck) is the only player the Cowboys ruled out. Eagles head coach Doug Pederson was in a great mood Friday morning ahead of practice. He spoke to the media and addressed some of the anonymous comments about the offense that surfaced the past few days, as well as talked about preparing for Dallas, and some injury updates.Here’s what the head coach had to say.On the Carson Wentz reportPederson was asked about the comments being reported about the use of checkdowns by the quarterback.Aside from the comments specifically, Pederson was then asked if it bothered him things were coming out of the locker room with anonymous quotes.It was pointed out that comments also suggested the offense could be too complicated at times

Pederson asked what he meant by “too complicated” and hePederson also said that he hasn’t addressed the comments with the team OR with any individual he thinks may have made them. The head coach also joked that this is first time he’s heard anyone complain that there should be more checkdowns.And, with a big smile, joked, “Never heard that one before. We’re not throwing it deep enough, and now we’re not throwing it short enough. I don’t know, I don’t get it.”He was also asked if this put any sort of divide or crack within the locker room.On the linebackers this weekPederson noted that he does expect T.J. Edwards to step up, but that he really expects all of them to take a step forward. He said that this was a great opportunity for all the guys in that room to increase their performance and play time. These guys are also core special teams players

He explained that they set aside some time during their offseason program to study the division opponents, and you might not know the roster makeup until this moment, but they begin formulating a plan that they can even execute during OTAs.Pederson then spoke about where they start in terms of preparing for Dallas’ defense.Injury updatesRonald Darby and Jalen Mills have been working this week and doing “extremely well”, but Pederson really wants to test them both in Friday’s practice to see where they’re at. When they are ready to return, Pederson said that he thinks they’ll be the starting corners moving forward — they would still rotate based on how they feel, but they would assume those roles.Nigel Bradham is a bit more of a long shot for this week

Pederson said — like the others — they’ll see where he’s at on Friday, but it’s not looking good.On Jason Peters and developing younger talentOn whether Jason Peters would be playing on Sunday, Pederson said that they are going to continue to evaluate him, but it’s a little more extensive so they have to get through Friday and Saturday to find out.Later on, Pederson spoke about Andre Dillard potentially looking at his first NFL start, and that he often likens it to Big V stepping into that role a few years ago. They’ll keep things simple and just want him to be able to go out and play his game.The head coach also talked about how Peters was instrumental in helping develop and prepare Big V back in 2017 and has taken the same mentor-type role with Dillard. He talked about Peters being an invaluable resource to these young players as someone who has played left tackle for so long and faced these opponents.On DeSean Jackson’s returnPederson had a lot of praise for DeSean Jackson and how hard the veteran wide receiver is working to get back on the field.But with that being said, both the team and Jackson don’t want him back before he’s 100%
