Jason Peters, the offensive tackle for the Dallas Cowboys, has played just two games this season, and his health has been a significant concern for the Dallas Cowboys, along with the health of quarterback Dak Prescott.

The Cowboys will face the Detroit Lions in Week 7. The good news for the Cowboys fans is that Jason Peters and Dak Prescott are back healthy and expected to play against the Lions, barring any late setbacks.

Peters has only played in Weeks 3 and 4 this season, where the Cowboys defeated the New York Giants and the Washington Commanders. He suffered a chest injury and was expected to play against the Philadelphia Eagles last week but ultimately didn't feature in the Cowboys' second loss of the season.

The Dallas Cowboys have stayed in the playoff picture even without their franchise quarterback, who hasn't played since Week 1, where he injured his thumb against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Cooper Rush played well in the five games he filled for Dak Prescott, leading the Cowboys to a 4-1 record. With Peters and Prescott back, Dallas will hope to make further strides to improve their position for the playoffs.

The Detroit Lions arguably have the worst defense in the NFL this year, and this is the perfect opportunity for the Cowboys offense to click and put on a show. Dak Prescott has been under immense pressure due to the results that Cooper Rush was getting in his absence, and he needs to show up as well.

Jason Peters needs to protect his quarterback in this game. Peters must also stay healthy for future games. The Cowboys have a pretty good team, as their defense is one of the best in the league, and they can make some noise in the playoffs this year.

Jerry Jones loves the quarterback controversy, and if Prescott fails to play well, there could be serious questions asked about him as Rush was able to lead the team to wins by hook or crook.

Whether or not the return of Peters and Prescott inspires the Cowboys to a big win over the Lions remains to be seen, but the spirit around their camp must be high as their squad is finally getting back healthy.
