Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Likely not playing during preseason

The Cowboys have suggested the team is unlikely to play Prescott during the preseason, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

This isn't incredibly surprising given the Cowboys' playoff aspirations and Prescott's status as a seven-year veteran. The switch from offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to Brian Schottenheimer will likely result in a shift in offensive schemes, but it seems as if the team is confident it will work out the kinks throughout training camp and doesn't need to expose Prescott to any unnecessary hits during the team's three exhibition contests.
