Dak Prescott Removed From Cowboys Injury Report and Will Start Sunday vs Eagles

With the NFC East on the line, the Cowboys are hoping for a clean bill of health for their matchup against the Eagles. Star quarterback Dak Prescott has been battling a shoulder injury all week, and there was some doubt as to whether the 26-year-old would be able to suit up on Sunday.

Well, in some good news for folks in Dallas, Prescott was removed from the injury report on Friday, meaning he should be good to go for Sunday's rivalry clash.

Cowboys are not listing QB Dak Prescott on their final injury report despite the fact that he was limited all week with a shoulder injury, per source. So Prescott starts Sunday at Philadelphia, in the division-deciding game, as expected.

Prescott's importance to the Cowboys offense cannot be understated, especially considering the team's backup quarterback is Cooper Rush, who has featured in just five games in his NFL career.

With both teams sitting at 7-7, Sunday's game will be decisive in the race for the NFC East throne.

The last time the Cowboys and Eagles squared off, Prescott threw for 239 yards with one touchdown and one INT in a 37-10 Dallas win.

Dak Prescott on playing for the division title on Sunday: "This is what it's about. This is what you play this game for. When I was a little boy and dreamed of being the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, these are the situations I thought about being in."
