Dallas Cowboys fans would have been shifting nervously in their seats when quarterback Dak Prescott popped up on the injury report this week with a hip injury.
Despite head coach Brian Schottenheimer stating it wasn't anything serious, that wouldn't have eased the fears over No. 4 potentially not being at 100 percent ahead of a must-win game in Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
But what about hearing from the man himself?
On Thursday, Dak fronted the media and ended any speculation over his hip injury.
“Yeah, I'm fine,” Prescott said. “Took a hit in the game, fell on it, happened early in the game, played the whole game throughout it. It's a physical game. Was sore. I was full participant today, and I'll be completely fine. Played with much more soreness.”

Prescott looking to continue good record vs. Eagles
Dak, throughout his career, has had his way with the NFC East, and when it comes to the Eagles, Prescott is 9-5 all-time against Dallas' bitter rivals.
But in his last four games, Dak is 2-2 with the 24-20 loss in Week 1, one that will sting given how well the Cowboys played and had CeeDee Lamb hauled in one of three superb passes from Dak as the Cowboys were driving to win the game, and not dropped them, maybe Dallas wins.
Now, facing a true must-win game as it pertains to their playoff lives, Dallas, after an emotional win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night, has to go again against its bitter rivals.
And having a healthy Dak will go a long way to the Cowboys winning their fifth game of the year.
