**Dak Prescott Poised for Return After Injury Recovery**
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is eager to get back on the field. At 31 years old, Prescott expressed confidence in his readiness to play, stating he could participate in a game today as he continues to recover from a season-ending hamstring injury. “If I had to play a game today, I definitely could do that,” Prescott shared in an interview. He emphasized the importance of moving forward healthily to ensure he can compete in all 17 games, or potentially 20, when the time is right.
Prescott suffered a partial avulsion of his hamstring during the Cowboys’ Week 9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, which involved a partial tear of the tendon from the bone. Following the injury, he underwent surgery in November. “I’m getting close to where I want to be. I don’t want to put a percentage on it,” he noted, adding that he anticipates participating in upcoming team activities.
Understanding the significance of his age and past experiences, Prescott is focused on being at his best for the upcoming fall season. “I’m not rushing anything, but I’m where I want to be,” he stated.
Last season, Prescott started eight games for the Cowboys, leading the team to a 3-5 record during his starts. He completed nearly 65% of his passes, amassing 1,978 yards, with 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Despite playing only eight games, he threw nearly as many interceptions as he did the previous year.
The Cowboys secured Prescott with a four-year, $240 million contract before the last season, making him the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL.
