FRISCO, Texas -- Dak Prescott didnt want to take a break in practice three days before his debut as a rookie starter for Dallas.The quarterback suddenly thrust into the spotlight by yet another injury to Tony Romo wasnt happy with his footwork on the drill that had just finished, so he asked offensive coordinator Scott Linehan for a few more snaps.Its one illustration why the Cowboys believe they can survive a few games without Romo after the 36-year-olds fourth back injury in less than four years -- and why they believe they might have found a future beyond their 10-year starter.The fact that hes young and hes a rookie is pretty interesting, because you dont have that happen very often, Linehan said. But for us here, we dont really look at it like weve got this young guy out there playing. We look at it like weve got this really bright kid with a lot of ability who has shown that hes ready for this.In Sundays opener at home against the New York Giants, Prescott will be the first rookie starter at quarterback in Week 1 for the Cowboys since Quincy Carter 15 years ago.Throw in running back Ezekiel Elliott, and the Cowboys have the first such rookie combo starting an opener since Roger Staubach and Calvin Hill in 1969.Elliott was expected to be a starter. Prescott wasnt.The career passing leader at Mississippi State started training camp as an afterthought, the third quarterback behind Romo and Kellen Moore.Not only was he a fourth-round pick, but was taken after owner and general manager Jerry Jones had expressed regret that he couldnt get a deal done to move into the first round to get Paxton Lynch, who went to Denver and will be a backup when the season starts.Early in camp, Moore went down with a broken right ankle that ultimately ended his season, lifting Prescott to the backup role. Then Romo broke a bone in his back when was tackled awkwardly on the third play of the third preseason game at Seattle.By the time Romo got hurt, Prescott already had two impressive preseason showings. And the jolt of having to come off the bench much earlier than expected against the Seahawks didnt bother him either. The 23-year-old led a scoring drive on his first full possession.Tonys injury and him not starting Sunday is a setback, make no mistake about it, Jones said.On the other hand, I didnt expect Dak to come in and have the kind of offseason he had and build the kind of confidence hes done with the staff and with his teammates. That has tempered the setback.As Prescott zoomed up the depth chart, his answers didnt change much. Walked in the door wanting to one day be the starter. Kept preparing the same way, other than getting a lot more snaps in practice.The biggest difference: Instead of watching Romo, hes listening to him, along with Moore and Mark Sanchez, the veteran signed as his backup this week.What Tony did before he got hurt helped me enough, Prescott said. Just telling me things as practice went on, on and off the field, in the film room. When you have vets around me like I do, you feel good going into a game.And Prescott will still have vets with him in the huddle, namely 2014 All-Pro receiver Dez Bryant, who is healthy after a broken foot in last years opener against the Giants slowed him for the rest of the season. Jason Witten enters his 14th season as one of two tight ends in NFL history with at least 1,000 catches and 10,000 yards.Prescott had touchdown passes to both in the preseason.Daks in a real fortunate situation for him to be put in this situation with a veteran offensive group, Linehan said.We have the ability, I think, because of having an offense that has such maturity, that you can put this young player in there and he can continue to be more like himself and not have to carry so much of the burden.Hes handled everything so far. Now Prescott gets to see how it translates to the regular season.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler Fake Baseball Jerseys .

PITTSBURGH -- Gerrit Cole never obsessed about pitching a complete game, but was happy to get his first one.Cole pitched a three-hitter and slumping Andrew McCutchen had a three-run home run among his three hits as the Pittsburgh Pirates rolled to a 10-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday night.It was good, a really good feeling, Cole said. You try to do it every time out but its not something I had been dwelling on. There are lot of variables that can leak into any start and throw you astray, so you just focus on the things you can control like your delivery and making quality pitches.Making the 88th start of his four-year career, Cole (6-6) struck six and walked one while winning for the first time since May 20. He had gone six starts without a victory while also spending nearly five weeks on the disabled list with strained right triceps from June 11-July 16.Cole threw 94 pitches, 70 for strikes, against a Mariners lineup stacked with seven left-handed hitters and a switch-hitter while becoming the first Pirates pitcher to complete a game with fewer than 100 pitches since Francisco Liriano, who also needed just 94 at St. Louis on Aug. 14, 2013.He put his foot down and pitched, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. Thats as efficient as Ive seen him since hes been here. Twenty pitches the first inning, 74 for the other eight. Really good outing.McCutchens three-run blast off David Rollins came in the eighth inning and capped the scoring. His 15th home run of the season pushed the nine-year veterans career total to 166, tying Dave Parker for fifth on the Pirates all-time list.McCutchen, who also doubled, had gone 4 for 29 with eight strikeouts in his previous seven games, dropping the 2013 NL MVPs batting average to .241.I felt something (good), thats for sure, McCutchen said. Im just going to stick with this and keep going. It was a good day for me as far as the feel goes, and had the results with it. Hopefully, it can propel me into these last couple of months of the season.McCutchen and Jung Ho Kang, who hit a three-run double to finish a four-run seventh inning, each had four RBI to help the Pirates win for the sixth time in nine games. Jordy Mercer also had three of the Pirates 14 hits and David Freese and Starling Marte added two each as the top four in the order went a combined 10 for 17.Kang greeted reliever Nathan Karns with his double that pushed the Pirates lead to 7-1.Kang also earlier hit a sacrifice fly off James Paxton (33-5) to finish a three-run third inning that broke a scoreless tie.dddddddddddd.Paxton gave up three runs and six hits in five innings, striking out six and walking one.Drew Storen made his Mariners debut and was charged with four runs in a 1 1/3 innings a night after being acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays in a trade for fellow reliever Joaquin Benoit.Norichika Aoki hit a pair of doubles and scored the Mariners lone run in the sixth inning on Robinson Canos sacrifice fly. Seattle had won five of its previous seven games.Cole threw the ball really well, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. Tip your hat to him.TRAINERS ROOMMariners: DH/OF Nelson Cruz was not in the lineup after fouling a ball off his left foot Tuesday night, though manager Scott Servais said he held the slugger out primarily because the designated hitter rule was not in effect in an NL park. ...
