The Dallas Cowboys received great news today as star quarterback Dak Prescott is taking a big step forward in his recovery from a hamstring injury suffered last season.
After finishing second in MVP voting in 2023, Prescott took a step back in the 2024 season before getting injured in Week 9. Prescott had thrown eight interceptions through eight games with only 11 touchdowns, but is only a year removed from throwing 36 touchdowns to only nine interceptions in 2023, and will have another great wide receiver to throw to with the addition of George Pickens.
Prescott took a major step forward in his return from injury and spoke to reporters about how he is cleared for everything except contact, as shared by ESPN’s Todd Archer.
“Pretty much can do it all. Feel good,” Prescott said. “Yeah, I think I’m just not cleared for contact, which we’ve got a while for that anyways. Yeah, I’m out there in the team activities, feel good. Just trying to stay that way. My offseason started way earlier so that’s really essentially why I’m ahead, on top of working with [director of rehabilitation Britt Brown], working with this training staff and [Prescott’s personal trainer] Luke [Wilson].”
“I just show up and control what I can control healthy. Trying to stay healthy. Feels good. Just trying to push the energy and make sure I continue to get better. Blessed to be here. Blessed to be doing what I’m doing, walking through these doors every day, playing the game that I love.”
