Coach Mike McCarthy said that if Prescott (shoulder) is unable to play Saturday against the Texans, he won't suit up in the preseason, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Prescott is slated to be a limited participant in his return to practice, which will equate to QB drills and not much more as the Cowboys exercise caution with their franchise quarterback. He'll thus be held out of all 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 work Monday, just two days removed from getting good news from an MRI. Prescott is healing well from the latissimus strain he picked up in his right throwing shoulder during a July 28 practice, which has overshadowed his completed recovery from last season's gruesome right ankle injury. If Dallas ultimately keeps him on the sideline during the exhibition season, he'll aim to be under center Thursday, Sept. 9 for the opener at Tampa Bay.
