Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy says he believes Dak Prescott will be cleared for camp

FRISCO, Texas --  Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy says he believes Dak Prescott will be completely cleared for work by the time training camp begins in July, if not sooner.

"I have no reason not to think that," McCarthy said Saturday. "I think this week in Phase 2 will be a nice step in that direction."

Prescott's recovery from the compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle he suffered last October has gone well. He has been at The Star for rehab and workouts and also has been working out with his personal quarterbacks coach.
