Prescott listed as questionable for SNF vs. Eagles

The Dallas Cowboys aren't officially closing the door just yet on Dak Prescott playing Sunday night.

The quarterback is listed as questionable for the Cowboys' Week 6 showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Prescott missed the last four games due to a thumb injury suffered in Week 1. Head coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday that Dallas is still preparing to start Cooper Rush versus Philadelphia.

Prescott was reportedly expected to miss four-to-six weeks after undergoing surgery. He resumed throwing at practice Wednesday.

McCarthy said Thursday that the signal-caller was still sore, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.

"That's the most he's thrown to this point," McCarthy added. "We've got a plan for him tomorrow, a plan for Sunday, and we'll just stay the course."

Rush, who took first-team reps at practice this week, has helped Dallas post a 4-0 record since Prescott went down. The backup passer has tossed four touchdowns against zero interceptions this season.

A surprise addition to the Cowboys' injury report was wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who missed practice Friday with a hip injury. Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones is optimistic Lamb, listed as questionable, will be good to go Sunday.

"I just think he's working through a couple (of) things there," Jones said, according to Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News. "But feel like he'll get all that sorted out for the game."
