The Dallas Cowboys are off to a hot start winning six-straight games, and have yet to lose a home game this season. Dallas could go their second-straight game without quarterback Dak Prescott, and Mike McCarthy’s team has a lengthy injury report heading into their matchup with the Denver Broncos.
Denver enters their matchup with the Dallas Cowboys sitting at 4-4 and has split their games on the road. Teddy Bridgewater will have a challenging task trying to keep up with the high-powered Cowboys offense. If Dak Prescott sits out, the Broncos have a great shot at pulling off the upset on Sunday.

Teddy Bridgewater and the Denver Broncos kicked off their season, winning three straight games. After the Broncos started 3-0, they dropped four consecutive games but bounced back with a close win against Washington last Sunday. Denver now enters a tough matchup against the red-hot Dallas Cowboys.
The Denver Broncos have made a massive change by sending Von Miller to the Los Angeles Rams. Von Miller has led the Broncos’ defense since being drafted. Now it’ll be interesting to see how his absence plays a role against the Cowboys on Sunday.
Von Miller isn’t the deciding factor in the Broncos-Cowboys game. Dak Prescott’s health will determine if the Cowboys can remain hot. If Prescott plays, the Cowboys walk away with a win. If Dak sits, the Cowboys could see their six-game win streak snapped.
Should the Dallas Cowboys fan base worry about Dak Prescott?
Dak Prescott missed last week’s game against the Minnesota Vikings with a nagging calf injury. According to Jon Machota, Prescott will be “full go” for the Cowboys’ practice on Thursday. Last week, Dak Prescott didn’t make it past the limited practices before missing Week 8.
With Prescott practicing most of the week, the Cowboys’ franchise quarterback likely plays against the Broncos. That brings us back to the original question, should the Dallas Cowboys fan base worry about Prescott’s calf injury?
The short answer is no. With the severity of the injury, Dak suffered last season. We’ll likely see some nagging injuries. Dak Prescott will probably be on the injury report a lot this season. If the Cowboys continue to win, look for McCarthy to rest Prescott, so he’s ready for the playoffs.
