Prescott plans to return vs. Lions

Quarterback Dak Prescott told reporters after the Dallas Cowboys' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles that he is preparing himself to return Sunday against the Detroit Lions.

"Yeah, for sure, that's my plan," Prescott said when asked if he'll be available for Week 7, according to Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith. "I'm preparing myself for the Lions, getting ready to play this week."

Prescott suffered a thumb injury in the Cowboys' season opener. He has not played since, missing the last five games.

Backup quarterback Cooper Rush led the Cowboys to a 4-2 record in Prescott's absence.

Prescott was limited in practice last week. He took the field for pregame warmup against the Eagles and said his thumb felt "great."
