Dak Prescott Close To Full Health

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.”
