Things didn’t go quite according to plan for Dak Prescott in 2024, who signed a massive contract extension that will keep him in Dallas for the foreseeable future just moments before the Cowboys’ season opened against the Cleveland Browns.
Unfortunately, the Cowboys missed the playoffs last season, thanks in large part to a season-ending hamstring injury that Prescott suffered. Luckily for Cowboys fans, Prescott gave a promising update on Friday at the 35th annual Children’s Cancer Fund gala.
“If I had to play a game today, I definitely could do that,” Prescott said, according to ESPN. “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.”
Prescott revealed that he even plans to participate in organized team activities next month.
“I’m getting close to where I want to be. I don’t want to put a percentage on it,” Prescott said. “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.”
Fans reacted to Prescott’s revelations on social media.
“Cowboys need to draft shedeur sanders but they won’t and continue to live in misery,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“A little early for dak to choke the 2025 season away,” one fan wrote.
“(He) could have been great but he chased the bag instead of the trophy. He should have left Dallas,” another fan added.
It’ll be interesting to see what level Prescott can play at upon his return.
