Which version of Dak Prescott will the Dallas Cowboys get in 2025?<\/div>\n

Dallas Cowboys\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Dak Prescott\u00a0will enter the 2025 season, once again, with a lot of questions to answer.<\/p>\n

But the biggest might be how healthy can he remain with injuries slowly starting to become an issue for the Pro Bowler.<\/p>\n

Last season, Dak saw his year end in Week 9, and he has only played two full seasons in the last five years. But now, with his hamstring injury behind him, George Pickens as a dynamic option alongside\u00a0CeeDee Lamb, an improved run game (they hope), as well as a better offensive line, things are trending up for Dak and Dallas.<\/p>\n

However, for ESPN’s Dan Graziano, the biggest question is which version of Dak will stand up fit the\u00a0Cowboys\u00a0in 2025.<\/p>\n

“The Cowboys hope it’s the healthy version,”\u00a0Graziano writes. “Prescott has played six fully healthy seasons in his nine-year\u00a0NFL career, and the Cowboys won the NFC East in four of those seasons. Even after losing Prescott to a hamstring injury midway through last season, Dallas still managed to finish 7-10.<\/p>\n

“Prescott is expected back healthy to start training camp, and the team added WR George Pickens to pair with top wideout CeeDee Lamb and expand Prescott’s options in the passing game. If the post-Zack Martin offensive line holds up the way the Cowboys expect, Dallas has plenty of reason to think it can contend with Philadelphia and Washington in the NFC East.”<\/p>\n

A fully healthy Prescott, who plays a full season, more often than not, gets his team to the playoffs, and in Brian Schottenheimer’s first season as head coach, that will be the aim.<\/p>\n

Granted, Dak has all the tools needed to be that again in 2025, but his health and the status of his hamstring will be a big watch as the offseason continues.<\/p>\n

Some aren’t sold on the Cowboys in 2025, with Dak and Schottenheimer a big reason why, but there’s no denying what Prescott brings to the table when fully healthy.<\/p>\n

But the biggest question is which Dak will we get in 2025?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
