Dak Prescott will continue to make the starts under center for the Dallas Cowboys as Tony Romo works his way back from his latest injury. The Cowboys -- Prescott and Romo included -- seem fine with that arrangement, for now.

Romo will be healthy at some point, and then a decision will have to be made, but for now, he's just getting in some limited reps at practice. He recently began throwing passes to the wide receivers during the early portion of practices, and one person impressed with how the QB looks, both physically and in terms of his throws, is the team's best wide receiver: Dez Bryant.

"I think he's been losing some weight and I think I saw some abs on him," Bryant said, per NFL.com. Bryant later added that Romo "looked like a little missile."

While we're not exactly sure what Dez means by saying Romo looked like a "little missile," it's certainly encouraging that he's encouraged by how Romo looks on the field. Having both Prescott and Romo ready to play would give the Cowboys two high-level options in case one or the other falters.

Whether Romo will actually get a chance to step back into the lineup -- which seemed a foregone conclusion before the season started and the Cowboys raced out to a 6-1 start with Prescott at the helm -- remains to be seen. Dez, though, is confident in both players. "Me and [Romo], we good but I don't know, it's a team game. So we just have to see."

Nobody in Dallas seems to want to commit one way or the other. They're all content to let Prescott play this our until he either stumbles or gets injured, all while allowing Romo to both heal his back and avoid further injury.
