Logan Ryan happy for Dak Prescott's recovery

Few players have enjoyed as much success against the Giants in recent years as Dallas' Dak Prescott, but the visitors will be happy to see him take the field when the teams meet Sunday in AT&T Stadium.

In Week 5 one year ago, Prescott suffered a gruesome injury on the same field when his right ankle bent awkwardly as he was being tackled by Giants safety Logan Ryan, resulting in a compound fracture. Prescott is now playing as if he was never hurt while leading the Cowboys to a 3-1 start. His 75.2 completion percentage is second in the NFL, and he has thrown 10 touchdown passes against just two interceptions. Not coincidentally, Dallas is fourth in the NFL in scoring (31.5 points a game) and third in yardage (420.8 a game).

"He looks really good," Ryan said today. "He looks healthy, great and he looks like he's operating as one of the best quarterbacks in football (with) just how they're moving the ball and the command he has, great command at the line of scrimmage. You've got to root for a guy that's a good guy and had a tough injury, obviously. You've got to root for stories like that. I just love playing against Dak because he's a competitor and I am and we are, so I think we have to lead our units, go out there and play the game.

"Between me and him, I'm happy that he's back, I'm happy that he's operating at a high level because when you've played the game for years and you've won some Super Bowls and you've had contracts, I think what keeps you in the game is the competition. You want to compete against the best. I think that's why everyone wants to play against Tom Brady, and they want to play against the best. Dak's one of the best right now, so we want to play against him and we want to play well. He's a great challenge."
