Prescott is not expected to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Texans, Clarence Hill of the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Prescott has already received plenty of work this preseason, completing 39 of 50 passes for 454 yards, five passing touchdowns, two rushing touchdowns and no turnovers. He played most of those snaps alongside second and third-string teammates, but with Tony Romo (back) now facing a potential absence of 6-10 weeks, Prescott is expected to fill in as the starter. While undoubtedly facing a steep transition, the fourth-round rookie does have the benefit of a strong supporting cast, led by a dominant offensive line, Dez Bryant (concussion) and Ezekiel Elliott.
