Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is dealing with a shoulder injury that more resembles an ailment baseball pitchers suffer, according to Fox's Jay Glazer.

"The injury is actually a different injury than most football players get, more of a baseball injury. In fact, it's kind of under the armpit. The Dallas Cowboys' training staff has actually reached out to the (MLB's) Texas Rangers' training staff, just for a little bit more help," Glazer said.

On July 29, the Cowboys announced Prescott suffered a shoulder strain in his throwing arm. The team said Tuesday it would take a step back with his rehab.

Nonetheless, Dallas expects to have Prescott for the season opener on Sept. 9.

"They fully expect him to be the starter Week 1," Glazer said.
