Cowboys QB Prescott plans to play through shoulder injury
FRISCO, TX – Dak Prescott is simply reliving his college days with a shoulder injury that is limiting him in practice for the first time in four seasons as quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. Prescott has shown up on the injury report before with minor, nagging issues, but never been forced to yield practice reps to his backup. “Not that I know of,” Prescott said when asked if he had a hairline fracture. “I wasn't sure if there was one,” said Prescott, who also has been dealing with a sprained left wrist. "But as far as extra stuff, it's tricky when you're putting it on your throwing shoulder.
Cowboys build model by paying line, Pats win another way
Travis Frederick didn't fully understand the business of football when the Dallas Cowboys drafted their center six years ago and made him an instant starter. Two years ago, New England left tackle Nate Solder was perhaps the most-coveted left tackle in free agency, and the Patriots let him go at age 29 and two years removed from a torn biceps. Oakland coach Jon Gruden has stressed building the offensive line ever since returning to the Raiders before last season. "We thought it was really important as we continue to develop this offensive line." While left tackle has long been the highest-paid position because of protecting a QB's blind side, the value of guards has gone up in recent years.
