Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he expects Prescott to start next week's game against the Browns following Sunday night's dramatic OT win over the Eagles, The Dallas Morning News reports.
Jones couched the decision as based on Tony Romo's health, rather than the rookie's six-game winning streak. "My opinion is that we would want him to have more strength work done," Jones said of Romo. "He's really doing well. Probably as well as at any time last year as far as strength in his back is concerned. But he's got some more work to do." Nonetheless, if Prescott keeps producing wins, it'll become harder and harder for the front office or coaching staff to justify taking him out of the lineup.
