McCarthy would not officially rule out Prescott with a shoulder
strain, but said there's a "good chance" he won't be on the
field this preseason.
Without a full practice, Prescott will not play Saturday in the
preseason game with the Houston Texans. He was limited for
Wednesday's practice as he makes slight increases to his
throwing volume, McCarthy added.
Prescott threw just 20 passes on Wednesday.
McCarthy said the Cowboys would have a better idea where
Prescott stands in a few days, but the update won't have a
bearing on Prescott's status for the preseason affair with the
Texans.
Prescott remains on track to play in the Week 1 NFL kickoff game
against the Super Bowl champion Buccaneers in Tampa on Sept. 9.
He hasn't practiced fully since injuring his shoulder on July
28. Multiple MRI exams showed no major structural damage,
according to the team.
Prescott's next game action will be his first since a
season-ending ankle injury last October, and first live snaps
since signing a four-year, $160 million contract in the
offseason.
Also, starting right tackle La'el Collins departed Wednesday's
practice with a neck injury, according to reports.
The Cowboys consider the injury to be minor and aren't overly
concerned, the reports say.
Any loss of practice time could be a setback for Collins, who
missed all of last season with a hip injury. He underwent
surgery in early October.
Collins, 28, has started 61 games since joining Dallas in 2015.
He played college football at LSU.
