Prescott, Cowboys show promise, but have to change history

Full participant Monday Collins was a full participant in Monday's practice, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The right tackle didn't play at all in 2020 while recovering from hip surgery and missed time last week with a minor neck issue, but Collins appears to be on track for Week 1 against the Buccaneers. His presence along the offensive line will be even more important with right guard Zack Martin (COVID-19) out for Week 1.

Misses Friday's practice Collins (neck) didn't practice Friday as a precautionary measure.

Impact Coach Mike McCarthy is still optimistic that Collins will be able to return in time for Week 1 against the Buccaneers but said that the offensive tackle is in a "holding pattern." The 28-year-old will have three more chances to practice prior to the season opener, but his recent absence has led to more reps for Terence Steele and Ty Nsekhe.

Expected to play Week 1 Collins (neck) is expected to be ready to play Week 1 against the Buccaneers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Collins exited practice Friday due to a neck stinger that forced him to miss Sunday's preseason finale against the Jaguars. However, coach Mike McCarthy didn't sound concerned about the 28-year-old's availability to begin the regular season following Sunday's exhibition loss.

Exits practice Friday Collins left Friday's practice with what was described afterward as a stinger, DallasCowboys.com reports.

Impact The right tackle also dealt with a minor neck issue last week that didn't ultimately cost him any practice time, but it's not clear if the two injuries are related. Collins didn't play at all last season due to hip surgery, one of a number of injuries that decimated the Cowboys' offensive line, so look for the team to be very cautious with the 28-year-old in an effort to make sure he's ready for Week 1.

Expected to play Saturday Collins (neck) is expected to practice Friday and suit up for Saturday's preseason contest against the Texans, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Collins picked up a minor neck injury during Wednesday's practice, but it looks like there's no reason for concern. The Cowboys could end up limiting his snaps during Saturday's exhibition matchup, but the fact that he's already progressed enough to retake the field is an indication that Collins will be a full-go for Week 1.

AUGUST 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers minor injury Collins sustained a minor arm/neck injury Wednesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Collins' injury is reportedly minor, but the Cowboys may take a cautious approach and keep him off the field until he's back to 100 percent health. Keeping the O-line at full strength is doubtless one of Dallas' priorities for the 2021 campaign, and, given his wealth of experience, Collins wouldn't miss out on too much by skipping some preseason action.
