Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said over the weekend he hoped quarterback Dak Prescott would start throwing two or three days after a shoulder injury late last week. Unfortunately, Prescott took a step back on his return from shoulder loading, McCarthy said Tuesday.Prescott won’t throw on Tuesday. He will also not play in the team’s Hall of Fame game in Ohio against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday.Were more conservative with his schedule, McCarthy said of Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News.We have taken a step back. We still think the same thing about the nature of the injury, McCarthy said. After research and consideration, we just don’t want it to become something big. … were just a little more conservative in rehab.As long as Prescott is healthy, Dallas will have great expectations. And Prescott will have to live up to those expectations while knocking off the rust since his leg injury was no joke.Former Cowboys Hall of Fame recipient Michael Irvin had a lot of thoughts about Prescott and the pressure he is under during an appearance on Sunday on the NFL Network.I can’t remember in the past few years anyone having gone into the opening game of an NFL season with more challenges and circumstances related to the situation thanDak PrescottSaid Irvin. “He broke an ankle and now has the shoulder injury. He needs to go in and play after playing Hard Knocks and the Hall of Fame game. You open the season against the champions. And the champions have just won their championship in their home stadium. You have to visit this home stadium. It’s the year after COVID. Oh my gosh. All the pressure on Dak, and he’s only facing the greatest quarterback to ever play the game after getting $ 160 million. That’s a lot of pressure. And I have to ask Dak how he eases that pressure and continues to focus on winning soccer games?First of all, when Dak was eliminated last year, the Cowboys had number 1 on the offensive, right? Irvin added. And so now everyone will expect us to come back to this in a moment. They can tell how healthy and ready you are to play soccer until you jump into the game and see live balls. And he hadn’t had the opportunity to do so. He needs to acclimatize quickly, remove the rust from last year’s games, and update himself to compete against the greatest while playing a football championship. … its pressure. butDak PrescottLike me, he has a great relationship with pressure. Every time pressure comes up, good things happen. And that’s what I expect.Get the fastest results, stats, news, LIVE videos and more.
