Cowboys' Dak Prescott: 'I'll Be Ready' for 1st Game of 2025 Season amid Injury Rehab

Dak Prescott is preparing to recover from hamstring surgery in time for Week 1 of the Dallas Cowboys' 2025 season.

"I'm not gonna put a timeline on it, but I'll be ready for the first game and when anything matters and very, very ready," Prescott said, per the team's official website. "I'm feeling good. I'm doing more and more. The last two weeks have been huge and progressive for me."

"I wouldn't say I'm running full speed yet," he added. "But everything's on the right track, and I'm excited."

The veteran quarterback started in each of the Cowboys' first eight games of their 2024 campaign before suffering a partially torn hamstring that required season-ending surgery against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9.

Prescott was off to a slow start prior to the injury, averaging 247.3 passing yards per game and racking up 11 touchdowns compared to eight interceptions.

Dallas couldn't rally following the absence of the three-time Pro Bowl passer, finishing with a 7-10 record and missing the playoffs for the first time since 2020.

The Cowboys are looking to bounce back in 2025 following a head coaching change, parting ways with Mike McCarthy before hiring former offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer on Jan. 24.

With Schottenheimer patrolling the sidelines, Prescott will be attempting to look like his former self once he recovers. The 31-year-old is only one year removed from a 2023 season in which he threw for 4,516 yards to go along with a league-leading 36 touchdown passes.

While Prescott may not have a specific timeline for his return, he's preparing to be ready for the start of the regular season.
