Cowboys' Dak Prescott Updates Hamstring Injury Rehab, Could 'Definitely' Play Today

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott believes he could be game-ready at the moment as he recovers from his hamstring injury.

The 31-year-old spoke about his recovery on Friday night and acknowledged that he would be able to play today "if I had to" and that he is currently focused on building up stamina for a long season.

"If I had to play a game today, I definitely could do that," Prescott said, per Field Level Media. "It's about moving forward healthy to make sure I can play 17 times, 20 (games) -- whatever we get to when the time's right."

Prescott is entering his 10th NFL season and was limited to just eight games in 2024 as a result of the injury. He threw for 1,978 yards with 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions while leading the team to a 3-5 record. Dallas finished the season 7-10 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2020.

Prescott has dealt with other major injuries in his career but has been excellent when healthy. In 2023, he threw for 4,516 yards with 36 touchdowns and nine interceptions while leading the team to a 12-5 record. He finished second for the MVP that season and was rewarded with a four-year, $240 million contract.

Prescott now enters year two of that deal and will hope to make that investment worth it for the Cowboys.
