FRISCO — Dak Prescott was absent from some individual exercises in training held on Wednesday by the Dallas Cowboys, in order to do rehabilitation work on one side of the field, due to a calf problem.

The head coach of Dallas, Mike McCarthy, did not elaborate on his comments after noting that the Cowboys (5-1) they were entrusting the substitute of Dak, Cooper Rush, more reps in this week’s workouts. Prescott had a limited participation in training on Wednesday, the day before his appointment with the media.
“I just think it’s a way to get ready to Cooper and make sure Dak receive the treatment you deserve to complete your rehabilitation, “he said McCarthy before training. “We will not come to a determination that you have full participation in the practices until you get to the point of being ready. So we have to be sure that Cooper be ready to play just in case. “
Prescott was confident of not wasting playing time after appearing in a protective boot at the press conference after the 35-29 win over New England, which extended the triumphal step of the Cowboys to five consecutive victories.
