Among the reasons for their struggles in that campaign was star quarterback\u00a0Dak Prescott&#8217;s short season.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aspect-video w-full\">\n<div class=\"not-prose flex aspect-video w-full items-center justify-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Prescott appeared in only eight games in 2024, as he suffered a hamstring injury in a Week 9 game against the Atlanta Falcons before later going under the knife for a season-ending surgery.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,120193976\/AdThrive_Content_1\/5e90daf19f500876e949a3d9_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>However, it appears that Prescott is continuing to make great progress\u00a0amid his recovery\u00a0from the operation, with Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network\u00a0providing some encouraging news\u00a0about the forme Mississippi State Bulldogs star quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut this guy you&#8217;re seeing right here, Dak Prescott, when healthy has been very very good \u2014 MVP candidate caliber, very very good,\u201d Rapoport said, as clips of the signal-caller working out played in the background.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason why the Cowboys were so bad last year. One of the reasons was because Dak got injured. So, the fact that he is now going through lifting in front of cameras going through throwing sessions in front of people in front of cameras. These are all very positive steps toward his rehab.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys entered the Falcons game with just a 3-4 record. Including that game against Atlanta, the Cowboys went 4-6 the rest of the way, with Cooper Rush mostly acting as Prescott&#8217;s placeholder under center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDak&#8217;s doing great, he&#8217;s coming along,\u201d Jones recently said when\u00a0asked about the QB&#8217;s health\u00a0(h\/t Tommy Yarrish of DallasCowboys.com). \u201cHe&#8217;s very thrilled with where he is and I know the trainers are too, I feel like he&#8217;s doing a hell of a job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jones also shared that the 31-year-old Prescott \u201cwill have some limitations\u201d at the start of the offseason program.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys certainly hope that Prescott, who has a\u00a0cap hit of $52.97 million in 2025 (from $89.896<a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/nfl\/dallas-cowboys\/the-90-million-reason-why-the-cowboys-will-adjust-dak-prescotts-contract-in-2025\">)<\/a>, will be ready once the new season comes around and play like the quarterback that he was in 2023. That year, he passed for 4,516 yards and 36 touchdowns against only nine interceptions while completing a career-best 69.5 percent of his throws.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This should get Cowboys fans hyped.
