Jones shed light on Dak Prescott's rapid recovery and notwithstanding his inability to adequately hold the football, did not anoint Cooper Rush as this week's starter. Prescott had surgery on his right thumb just 22 days ago and has continued to improve at a rate which has surprised many, as his Cowboys continue to win. Jerry Jones was rather inflammatory when speaking about the Cowboys QB situation Tuesday Jones was asked on his weekly Dallas radio appearance if Prescott could grip the ball as things stand. 'No, not well enough to play,' Jones said Tuesday on 105.3 The Fan. Dallas will be in safe hands failing Prescott's comeback after a 3-0 run with Cooper Rush as the signal-caller. In the background, Prescott has flown through his recovery. Dak Prescott is on the comeback trail following a three-game absence which continue to grow Back-up Cooper Rush has exceeded expectations as the Dallas Cowboys sit 3-0 in his tenure 'I don't know that you could ask for better news technically, physically in how it's responding, how it's healing so to speak,' Jones said. 'So all of those things are on go and I don't know that as we bid bye to each day if considering the injury, considering the location of the injury, I don't know that you could make any more progress. 'There's some things here about healing that again I often say only the man upstairs knows how that works, but he'll have a big week and he'll be hard on himself getting it ready to go.' In all likelihood, Rush is expected to stay in situ as the starter for another week at a minimum. Jones is owner and GM of the Cowboys; he is pictured with 2022 first-round pick Tyler Smith 'We need to have that process before we [go] in a ballgame,' Jones explained. Can't eliminate the week's work and be ready to go, especially not at quarterback.' While Jones had previously spoken about his desire for a quarterback competition in Dallas, he was inflammatory when asked if there was a tangible record which would allow Rush to supersede Prescott. 'No, no, no. As I see it right today.' Share or comment on this article: All rights reserved for this news site (dailymail) and under his responsibility
