Dak Prescott sends fans wild with latest injury update
The NFL quarterback spoke at an event where he was asked to provide an update on his injury recovery.
Saying that the Dallas Cowboys had ‘a season to forget’ is akin to saying that Donald Trump’s tariffs were ‘quite silly’ - they are both huge understatements. This is not a politics essay, so instead of diving into the numbers being paid by penguins, let’s instead talk about the Cowboys.
The Dallas side were without their star man for the majority of the campaign after he suffered a season-ending hamstring injury.
The highest-paid quarterback in NFL history was ruled out for the season after just 8 games following a hamstring tear in November; just two months earlier, he had put pen to paper on a record deal which would see him make $240 million over four years. The irony and heartbreak of the situation was both a microcosm and a warning for fans who watched their team break unwanted records for poor performances throughout the year.

‘I’m not rushing anything, but I’m where I want to be’
Finally, however, it seems that the tide is turning and fans can gasp for air. In his latest remarks, Prescott admitted that he was hungry to get going again and that things were going well on the road to recovery. “If I had to play a game today, I definitely could do that,” Prescott said on Friday during the 35th annual Children’s Cancer Fund gala. “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.”
“I’m getting close to where I want to be. I don’t want to put a percentage on it,” he added. “I know we’ve got team activities coming up, imagine myself being involved in some sort if not all.
“Then again I just understand my age, what I’ve had, what I’ve went through, it’s about being my best in the fall. So I’m not rushing anything, but I’m where I want to be.”
