Latest Dak Prescott Injury Update Doesn't Bode Well for Cowboys' Chances
By Mark Powell
Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys can still make the playoffs -- technically.
Should the Eagles lose at the New York Giants on Sunday, and Dallas win against Washington, then Jason Garrett would receive one last chance to save his job in a home playoff game in Jerry's World.

Behind Prescott, Cooper Rush would take the reigns against the Redskins if called upon. While the Redskins don't have much to play for, don't underestimate Bill Callahan's willingness to play spoiler in a rivalry game.
Jerry Jones really allowed Jason Garrett to waste the primes of

This may very well be Garrett's final game at the helm in Dallas. He'll hope to have his starting quarterback available to avoid a colossal embarrassment.
