FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott appears ready to return from a fractured thumb on his throwing hand. Prescott has missed five games since getting injured in a season-opening loss to Tampa Bay. Coach Mike McCarthy says Prescott will be “in the lead chair as far as reps” for practice going into Sunday’s game against Detroit. Dallas went 4-1 with backup Cooper Rush. The Cowboys stayed on track without Prescott and are one of just four teams in the NFC with a winning record.
