Dak Prescott Says He Intends to Play Cowboys’ Finale vs. Giants

The team has not finalized a decision, weighing his stance against the injury risk to a quarterback with two prior season-ending injuries.

Overview

  • Prescott reiterated after the Christmas Day win that he plans to suit up Jan. 4 at the Giants despite Dallas being out of the playoff race.
  • He cited pride and a desire to avoid his first sub-.500 healthy season, with a win setting the Cowboys at 8-8-1.
  • He currently leads the NFL with 4,482 passing yards entering Week 18, providing an additional personal incentive.
  • Prescott absorbed six sacks and 11 quarterback hits against Washington yet said he would prepare the same way for the finale.
  • Head coach Brian Schottenheimer declined to commit to playing him, saying evaluation will come after reviewing the film and that a decision is forthcoming.
