Ahead of their rivalry game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys have released their initial injury report ahead of Week 12, and quarterback Dak Prescott was listed on it, surprising many. With the Dallas Cowboys on the Playoff hunt and against the hated Eagles no less, fans and Fantasy managers began to worry when he showed up.
It should be noted that this was only an estimated version of the injury report and not yet the official one. It just listed that Prescott practiced on Wednesday, but on a limited capacity.
What Happened to Dak Prescott?
The report revealed that Prescott had been dealing with a problem with his hip and thus only had a limited practice on Wednesday. Still, this has concerned some fans, though head coach Brian Schottenheimer addressed it and assured Cowboys fans that they should not be too worried about the QB1.
During that Wednesday practice, the coach told reporters that they placed Dak Prescott in the injury report because he was “banged around a little bit in the game” and is “a little sore.” However, Schottenheimer assured fans that the quarterback’s injury is “nothing major” as the Cowboys’ playoff hunt continues.
Will Dak Prescott Play This Week?
With Dak Prescott just a little bit hurt and the Cowboys themselves not as worried about it, it should be safe to assume that the Cowboys’ QB1 will be playing in Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The two teams have one of the most storied rivalries in the NFL, and it should be fitting that their top quarterback are present during this showdown.
Prescott has been healthy during the entire 2025 season, but the wear and tear of that weekly grind could affect even the best. Think of his listing as the Cowboys just resting their best quarterback a bit as they ready themselves to take on the hated Eagles.
Dak Prescott Fantasy Outlook
Because the team itself is not too worried, Dak Prescott’s Fantasy outlook is looking good. He will possibly be playing, so fans should not worry about sitting him or dropping him this week. He has been solid so far with the Cowboys and is one of the reasons why they are still in playoff contention.
