Cowboys' Dak Prescott 'Ahead' on Injury Rehab Despite Not Being Cleared for Contact

Though he has yet to be cleared for contact, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott said he's making strides in rehabbing his hamstring injury that ended his 2024 season early.

"Pretty much can do it all. Feel good," Prescott said, per ESPN's Todd Archer. "Yeah, I think I'm just not cleared for contact, which we've got a while for that anyways. Yeah, I'm out there in the team activities, feel good. Just trying to stay that way."

He said that his season ending in November gave him plenty of time to get a jump on his recovery.

"My offseason started way earlier so that's really essentially why I'm ahead," he said. "On top of working with [director of rehabilitation Britt Brown], working with this training staff and [Prescott's personal trainer] Luke [Wilson]."

Prescott suffered a partial avulsion of his hamstring tendon in a Week 9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The injury required season-ending surgery.

Prescott finished the season with 1,978 passing yards, 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions in eight games, a disappointing year considering the four-year, $240 million contract he signed last offseason.

But Prescott has seemingly had a productive offseason rehabbing the injury and should be ready to lead Dallas to a bounce-back season after the Cowboys finished 7-12 in 2024.
