DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is in uniform and has returned to practice, albeit on a limited basis, during the team's Thursday practice.
While Prescott is not taking snaps or throwing to his receivers quite yet, he is gripping and throwing lightly with a training ball.
The team hopes for Prescott to be ready by Week 4 against the Washington Commanders or Week 5 against the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams.
Prescott was originally injured in the Cowboys Week 1 blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and had surgery to repair a right thumb fracture, that was initially thought to keep him out for a much longer period of time.

The Cowboys will start Cooper Rush against this week when they take on the New York Giants at Metlife Stadium.
Rush led the Cowboys to a Week 2 win over the defending AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals.
