Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys quarterback, took an important step on Thursday in his recovery after thumb surgery.
Prescott was unable to practice after he had surgery to fix the injury he sustained in Week 1.
“While it doesn’t mean he took team snaps, he was in individual drills and threw passes for the second straight day,” tweeted ESPN’s Todd Archer.
Prescott’s practice was not the only thing that CeeDee Lamb, wide receiver, said that he felt “healthy” while doing it.
Dak Prescott was listed as limited in practice for the first time since thumb surgery. While it doesn't mean he took team snaps, he was in individual drills and threw passes for the second straight day. "He looks healthy," CeeDee Lamb said. " I’m just waiting on his return.”

The Cowboys are now 4-0 without Prescott. Backup Cooper Rush has performed admirably, and the team’s defense has been exceptional.
Dallas faces its toughest test yet: Sunday’s primetime matchup in Philadelphia, where the undefeated Eagles will be the opponent.
Mike McCarthy, the head coach, stated Wednesday that Rush will be starting again this week. We will see if this changes between now, and Sunday night.
Prescott’s continued progress in the game is a positive sign for Cowboys’ fortunes through Week 7.
