Antonio Gibson Operating As Lead Back In Week 1

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson is set to assume most of the backfield work in Week 1.

Dak Prescott Limited With Ankle Injury

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice, but he told reporters it's nothing to be worried about.
