Stephen A. rolls his eyes at Spears' Brady-Dak take (2:25)

Stephen A. Smith thinks that the Cowboys game is important because of the quarterback. There is a time and a place for it.

According to Mike McCarthy, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback will play on Sunday even though he was limited in Thursday's practice due to ankle inflammation.

McCarthy doesn't have any concerns about him playing.

McCarthy said that they checked him out, but wouldn't say if he had an magnetic resonance device. Everything was good. McCarthy said that Prescott would be a full participant over the next couple of days.

After wearing a different style of cleats for the first time this summer, he felt uncomfortable.

The media was allowed to watch a portion of the practice that was open to them. He denied twisting the ankle in practice. After wearing Jordan 1s all summer, he broke in a new pair of Jordan 11s. He wore the Jordan 11s for games last year, but will switch to the Jordan 1s this year.

"I promise you I'm good," he said. Being very, very cautious. It's probably not the best idea to switch shoes. It's good to go. That's what I'm going to promise.

McCarthy said that it was "high caution" to ask why he didn't change into the more comfortable cleats.

It's done with all the players. There is always an exam or something going on. We respond to things. The game is like that. It's standard procedure to go through that when a player has an issue.
