Brian Schottenheimer emphasizes the importance of physical practices for the Dallas Cowboys as they prepare for the preseason finale against the Atlanta Falcons. Questions remain concerning the roster, particularly the backup quarterback situation, with Dak Prescott's recent injury history raising concerns. Despite the urgency, Schottenheimer indicates there is no need to panic, stressing the necessity of focused work to solidify their positions before the roster deadline on August 26, while also indicating their interest in veteran quarterbacks.
"I told the guys, 'Get ready, because the couple of practices this week are going to be really physical,'" Schottenheimer said after the Baltimore game. "We have to. But it's like all these position battles, we don't have to decide anything right now."
"We're not pushing the panic button," Schottenheimer said. "We're pushing the work button."
Backup quarterback Dak Prescott has missed games due to injury in four of the last five seasons. He turned 32 in July.
The Cowboys attempted to sign Jacoby Brissett in free agency and had discussions with at least one more veteran quarterback but ultimately traded for Joe Milton III.
