During the Cowboys’ first padded practice in Oxnard, Calif., fans back in Dallas are holding their breath.
Star quarterback Dak Prescott, who is coming off a compound ankle fracture and dislocation last season, exited the practice field on Wednesday.
The team later announced his exit was due to soreness in his throwing arm and was purely precautionary.
An MRI after practice revealed he has a muscle strain in his right shoulder. Prescott will be treated and further evaluated on a day-to-day basis.
“I felt some soreness when making certain throws today, and I really just decided not to push things too far,” Prescott said in a written statement.
“Better to be cautious and smart about it. I don’t see this as any kind of serious setback. We’ll treat it on a daily basis, and I’ll be fine.”
This is the first time in Prescott’s five-plus years with the Cowboys that he has missed a practice because of a sore arm.
