The Dallas Cowboys are preparing for their biggest game of the season, as they will take on the Philadelphia Eagles in a showdown that could ultimately decide the NFC East on Sunday.
However, the Cowboys are entering this weekend hobbled.
That is particularly true for quarterback Dak Prescott, who is dealing with multiple ailments. Whether it's a sprained left wrist, an injured right index finger or an AC joint issue in his throwing shoulder, Prescott is banged up.
The biggest concern for Prescott is his shoulder, but owner Jerry Jones doesn't seem too worried about his signal-caller heading into Week 16:
“I think we're in good shape,” Jones told 105.3 FM the Fan on Thursday. “We're not worried about it. … I'm totally convinced he'll be in top form.”
Head coach Jason Garrett said that there “doesn't appear to be” any lingering issues in Prescott's shoulder that could affect his play against the Eagles.
Of course, this could just be gamesmanship on the part of the Cowboys as not to play their hand ahead of the matchup, but it's also entirely possible that Prescott will be alright.
Most recently, Prescott completed 15 of his 23 passes for 212 yards and a couple of touchdowns in a 44-21 win over the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday.
On the season overall, the 26-year-old has thrown for 4,334 yards, 26 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while completing 65.5 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating of 99.3.
Dallas is 7-7 on the year and can clinch its second straight division crown with a win over Philadelphia.
