# Dak Prescott sits out Cowboys preseason opener vs Seahawks 2026-08-16T01:56:01+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will not play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field, continuing a trend that has seen him miss every exhibition game since 2019. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer explained that the team has divided its roster into four groups based on how much preseason action each player will receive, with players in the 'A+' category expected to take no snaps. Prescott, 30, missed most of the 2024 season with a serious hamstring injury but returned to play a full 2025 season without reported issues. Hindustan Times reports the Cowboys are prioritising his health for the regular-season opener against the New York Giants on September 13. Prescott may get practice reps during a joint session with the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday, which is not under a film blackout. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
