Dak Prescott: It's 'Safe to Say' He'll Play for Cowboys vs. Broncos After Calf Injury

Dak Prescott will likely be back under center for the Dallas Cowboys' Week 9 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Prescott told reporters it's "safe to say" he will play after missing last week's matchup with a calf injury.

"I'm feeling good," Prescott said. "Obviously I had two weeks to do a lot of rehab and recover, get everything that I needed to, the different modalities, and I feel good. Had two great days of practice and looking forward to Sunday."

Cooper Rush made his first career start in place of Prescott, throwing for 325 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the Cowboys' 20-16 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Rush's strong performance allowed the Cowboys to move to 6-1 and put them firmly in the home-field advantage race.

Prescott was off to a stellar start before the injury, throwing for 1,813 yards and 16 touchdowns against four interceptions.
