Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott expressed confidence about his recovery from last year’s season-ending hamstring injury during a recent appearance at the Children’s Cancer Fund gala, per ESPN.
“If I had to play a game today, I definitely could do that,” said Prescott, adding that he’s still building up for the physical attrition of a full NFL season.
Prescott went down in November with a partial avulsion of his hamstring tendon that required surgical repair. Initial updates on his rehab were positive and projected a return for organized team activities in May. Prescott recently confirmed that estimation, saying that he would participate in OTAs in some capacity.
“I’m getting close to where I want to be. I don’t want to put a percentage on it,” he said. “I know we’ve got team activities coming up, imagine myself being involved in some sort if not all.” Dallas’ offseason program begins on April 14, followed by rookie minicamp in early May and OTAs in late May/early June.
Prescott is still focused on the long haul, as he enters the first year of a four-year, $240MM extension he signed last September.
“I just understand my age, what I’ve had, what I’ve went through, it’s about being my best in the fall,” he explained. “So I’m not rushing anything, but I’m where I want to be.”
Still not a good QB.
Tony Romo 2.0
At least Romo made games exiting to watch.
When? Below average QB.
Get Healthy My Boy!!!
Looking Forward to a Great Year!!!
Dak literally won me big cash in a fantasy league 2 years ago. So while he might hurt your feelings and has some flaws, he’s apparently pretty good at throwing lots of TDs and accumulating passing yards. Ya know, QB things.
He is pretty throwing tds in the regular season, 2-5 in the post. Did you catch that last part? 2 wins in the play offs. He sucks.
Dallas sucks, I agree. They haven’t had a team anywhere close to the Chiefs or Eagles, basically the only teams with any level of postseason success. How is that all on Dak?
In the last 9 seasons, Dallas has been better than the eagles and chiefs for a couple of years. The problem is, he can’t close. The post season separates the men from the boys.
Dak is hype, over rated, and over paid. Tony Romo 2.0
drafting Dax in the fourth round solidifies GM Jerry’s brilliance.. he’ll never move off him
Jerrah acted on good advice from his club’s scouts. Dallas is known for finding lesser-known players who become stars when they wear the star.
Chucky and I must be watching different highlights of Leon Lett 🙂
Prescott is a joke. Insisted on stuffing his pockets knowing full well doing so would prevent the Cowboys from building a championship team around him. Can’t believe Jones was stupid enough to offer the deal.
If the Browns would do it… I would trade Dak for #2, Watson, and a couple more picks.
