Mandatory Credit: Brett Davis-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<blockquote><p>Dak Prescott\u2019s 2024 campaign never got off the ground. He threw for just 11 touchdowns against 8 interceptions in limited action before a torn hamstring in November ended his season. His QBR ranked 29th in the league- a far cry from what Dallas needs if it wants to stay competitive in a suddenly brutal NFC East.<\/p>\n<p>Though he\u2019s appeared in several offseason throwing sessions with teammates, the fact that Jones still won\u2019t commit to him being ready for Organized Team Activities on May 19 says a lot. The organization clearly remembers how fast things can go south when Prescott isn\u2019t right. And with a reshaped division that includes a reloaded Eagles squad, a surging Washington roster, and a Giants team fresh off a strong draft, the Cowboys can\u2019t afford a slow start.<\/p>\n<p>Dak Prescott turned 31 this offseason. The margin for error shrinks every year, especially when you\u2019re playing under one of the league\u2019s biggest contracts. If the Cowboys stumble and their quarterback can\u2019t stay healthy, the front office will face difficult decisions in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>For now, the message is clear: the Cowboys trust their guy, but they\u2019re not taking chances. They\u2019ve seen what happens when Prescott pushes too hard, too soon. Whether that cautious approach keeps him on the field or leads to a longer wait, one thing is certain, all eyes in Dallas are locked on No. 4.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_285859\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-285859\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-285859\" title=\"Breaking: Cowboys' Dak Prescott Endures Shocking Injury News After 2025 NFL Draft 3\" src=\"https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/USATSI_15020758_168400517_lowres.webp\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1442px) 100vw, 1442px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/USATSI_15020758_168400517_lowres.webp 1442w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/USATSI_15020758_168400517_lowres-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/USATSI_15020758_168400517_lowres-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/USATSI_15020758_168400517_lowres-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/USATSI_15020758_168400517_lowres-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/USATSI_15020758_168400517_lowres-450x300.webp 450w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/USATSI_15020758_168400517_lowres-1200x800.webp 1200w\" alt=\"Oct 4, 2020; Arlington, Texas, USA; Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (4) drops back to pass against Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett (95) in the first quarter at AT&amp;T Stadium.
