ARLINGTON, Texas — A tumultuous season, to say the very least, for Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys is slowly beginning to bring about a new energy in the building as Brian Schottenheimer and his shiny new coaching staff put their fingerprints on this year’s NFL Combine and prepare for what might be a different approach from the team in free agency.

But, for Prescott, it’s an offseason headlined by his recovery from a season-ending hamstring injury suffered on Nov. 3, when his hamstring tore off of the bone in his attempt to will the Cowboys past the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9.

The All-Pro quarterback has since been on the mend from the devastating injury but, speaking from the Cowboys’ launch of the Girl’s Flag Football League at AT&T Stadium, he was moving well, in great spirits and says there is zero concern about his availability to begin the 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,” the three-time Pro Bowler said. “I’m feeling good. I’m doing more and more. The last two weeks have been huge and progressive for me.”

He’s not cleared for full duty as of this moment, but he’s suffered no setbacks and requires no aid from any devices to move about.

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

It is to-be-determined if he’ll be available for OTAs and/or minicamp and/or the start of training camp, though the latter seems far less up in the air at the moment.

The task of Prescott, in conjunction with Schottenheimer, is to lead the Cowboys back to a winning record after a 7-10 finish in 2024 and, more/most importantly, a postseason run that would finally end a three-decade long championship drought. That means the sooner Prescott is ready to retake the field as Schottenheimer begins to mark the calendar for the Cowboys’ offseason training program, the better.

Neither side will rush the recovery though, seeing as what matters most is his presence — at full health and in top form — in between the lines in September, and not necessarily this spring.
