Dak Prescott hopes to return to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions.

Prescott has missed the last five games after suffering a fractured right thumb in the Cowboys' season-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

"That's my plan," the quarterback said. "Obviously, got to see the doc, but, yeah, that's kind of my plan."

He had surgery on Sept. 12 and was looking at a four- to six-week recovery timeline. Last week marked the first time he threw passes and took snaps, and he was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday.

"I plan on going into this week and trying to get my full week of practice," Prescott said.
