Dak Prescott, QB Dallas Cowboys Preskott recently broke his right thumb and is already projecting a positive mindset. His intention is to get out during OTAs next month in at least a limited capacity. Having endured a season-ending hamstring injury, Prescott is intent on reestablishing himself this year, starting with the first regular-season game. His entire concentration is on getting healthy again and getting ready for next year.
Prescott has been the heartbeat of the Cowboys since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. When it came time to admit how far he’s recovered, he didn’t want to assign a number. He stated, “If I had to play a game today, I definitely could do that,” showcasing his confidence as he approaches the next phase of his rehabilitation.
Last season was actually a difficult one for Prescott. He tossed 11 touchdown passes but was plagued by eight interceptions in the eight contests prior to his injury. Either this performance is the beginning of a very bad drop in his averages. Over the course of his career, Prescott has put up some incredible numbers. He has passed for 31,437 yards, accumulated 213 scores, and 82 picks. His general record is 76-46 over his 122 profession begins, that are headlined by three Professional Bowl alternatives.
In September 2021, Prescott signed a four-year, $240 million contract extension. This contract vaulted him to become the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history by annual average value. His fans and teammates alike expect great things from Prescott. He has his sights set on getting back into form and doing big things for this team.
It’s about moving forward healthy to make sure I can play 17 times, 20 [games] — whatever we get to when the time’s right,” he added. This declaration truly emphasizes his dedication to the overall well-being by not pushing his return too early.
As he heads into OTAs, Prescott will continue to be one of the biggest storylines in the Cowboys’ plans for a postseason run this winter. His impact as a leader, both on and off the field will be key. The team shoots for a home run in what they feel will be a highly fruitful post-pandemic season. Regardless, Cowboys fans and team members no doubt are looking forward to Prescott’s complete rebound. The unbelievable resilience and drive he’s displayed as he moves through his rehab process is contagious.
