Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a shoulder injury early in training camp and, according to the latest NFL rumors, might not be 100% at any point during the season. In other news, Sean Payton announced that Jameis Winston is going to start the second preseason game, while Mitchell Trubisky is making his long-awaited return to Chicago.<\/p>\n

Like just about every other team in the league, the Dallas Cowboys will go as far as their quarterback can bring them. When at his best, Dak Prescott is one of the best passers in the game and is easily capable of leading a team on a deep postseason run. However, Prescott might not be at his best at any point in 2021.<\/p>\n
During the Chiefs-Cardinals preseason game, ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter hopped on the airwaves<\/a> to say that Prescott \u201cis not fully back, [and] may not be fully back all season long\u201d. Prescott, of course, is battling a shoulder strain initially suffered early in training camp and is also returning from an ankle injury that limited him to five games last year.<\/p>\n Schefter didn\u2019t say which injury could limit Prescott\u2019s ability in 2021, but it\u2019s safe to assume that the quarterback won\u2019t be firing on all cylinders early this year. It\u2019s never easy to come back from a major injury like that, and it\u2019s possible that Prescott\u2019s mechanics will be a little off as he re-learns to trust his ankle and shoulder.<\/p>\n The New Orleans Saints starting quarterback job might just be the most interesting positional battle this offseason. Fighting for the right to replace Drew Brees, Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill appear to have equal odds of winning the Day 1 job. After Hill earned the first start of the preseason, head coach Sean Payton announced that Winston is going to start in the second preseason game.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t too surprising, as this was always the plan. While nobody knows exactly when Payton will name a starter, he always wanted both quarterbacks to have a fair shot with the starting offense. Winston and Hill had similar nights in Week 1, so this game could go a long way in determining the starting quarterback.<\/p>\n Here are Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston's all completed passes and interceptions from week 1 of preseason.<\/p>\n Who do you think the Saints QB \ud83e\udd47 will be? pic.twitter.com\/y2AbHwQVH1<\/a><\/p>\n — Dynasty Nerds (@DynastyNerds) August 18, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nSean Payton: Jameis Winston to Start Preseason Week 2<\/h4>\n
