In a precautionary move, the Dallas Cowboys made the decision to hold out starting quarterback Dak Prescott from Friday's training session. The team cited ankle soreness as the reason for Prescott's absence and deemed it necessary to give him a day off. This comes after the Cowboys concluded their joint practices with the Los Angeles Rams ahead of their upcoming preseason matchup on Sunday.

During the lighter practice session, quarterbacks Trey Lance and Cooper Rush will take over and receive the majority of the reps. With Prescott not expected to play in Sunday's game, it makes sense for Lance and Rush to get additional practice time on the field.

This isn't the first time Prescott has dealt with an injury scare this offseason, as he was previously seen wearing a walking boot. However, similar to that situation, today's absence should not raise any major concerns. The most important priority for the Cowboys is to have their starting quarterback ready for Week 1.

It is not uncommon for teams to give key players a day off during intense training camp periods, especially when dealing with minor discomfort or soreness. Prescott's absence on Friday should, therefore, be seen as a precautionary measure to ensure his ankle fully heals and to avoid any potential aggravation.

Apart from Prescott's absence, another notable update from the Cowboys' training camp is that wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has not reported. The team has provided no further details regarding Lamb's absence, leaving fans and media speculating about the reasons for his non-attendance.

As the Cowboys continue their preparations for the upcoming season, the focus remains on getting their star quarterback healthy and ready for the real action. Fans will have to wait until Week 1 to see Prescott back in full form, leading the team on the field.
