It's almost time for the Dallas Cowboys to take on the Arizona Cardinals in their second preseason game of 2021, but let's be honest, that's not what everyone is truly waiting for. All eyes are on that glowing red circle drawn on the calendar around the date of Sept. 9, because that's when Dak Prescott is set to make his official return to the NFL after going down in Week 5 last season with a fractured ankle, and doing it against Tom Brady and the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers only increases the lumens on the limelight aimed at Dallas.Prescott is currently recovering from a shoulder strain the team says won't impact his availability for Week 1, and it's also not NFL Chicago Bears Jersey equivalent to the sprained AC joint he played through in 2019 when he nearly bested Tony Romo's franchise record for most pa sing yards in a single season, so when he says he'll be fine -- there's reason to believe him. And a suming he is, the stage is set to lob three bold predictions for the Cowboys this coming season, with one having nothing to do with the offense at all.It could be a for Dallas in 2021 -- says Prescott -- and the below would guarantee it.You're going to begin hearing a lot of newfound predictions in the coming weeks regarding Prescott potentially being the frontrunner for NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 2021, but just know this is a prediction -- having full confidence the two-time Pro Bowler would overcome his fractured ankle. And so he has, with the ankle being arguably stronger than it was before the injury, leaving only his shoulder strain as an i sue to work through.

When the Cowboys made the decision to draft CeeDee Lamb in 2020, they had images Lucas Patrick Jersey of sugarplums dancing through their heads in regards to what the offense could be. After all, it was a unit that -- without Lamb -- was the No. 1-overall offense in the NFL the season prior, so it stood to reason the inclusion of a dynamic talent like Lamb could only make it better, right?
