In a surprising turn of events, Dak Prescott was notably absent from Sunday’s preseason game against the Rams and it looks like he won’t be hitting the field for the next two either. This is a curious development as Prescott hasn’t seen any action in a preseason game since way back in 2019.
However, Cowboys fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Prescott is set to make a return to practice on Tuesday when the team resumes training. In fact, the man himself, Dak Prescott, confirmed this news by stating, “One thousand percent,” to Todd Archer of ESPN.
The reason for Prescott’s absence from Friday’s practice was revealed to be due to precautionary measures after experiencing some ankle soreness following a joint practice session with the Rams. Despite concerns, Prescott assured everyone that his ankle is A-OK.
Interestingly, just last month, social media went abuzz with a photo of Prescott in a boot on his right foot while vacationing in Cabo San Lucas. It was later revealed by the quarterback that he occasionally deals with discomfort in his ankle from a fracture he sustained during the 2020 season.
Let’s not forget that Prescott, at 31, was a force to be reckoned with last year, starting in all 17 games for the Cowboys. His impressive stats speak for themselves – a remarkable 70 percent completion rate, 4,516 passing yards, a league-leading 36 touchdowns, and only nine interceptions. It’s no wonder he was a close second to Lamar Jackson in the MVP race.
As the drama unfolds surrounding Prescott’s preseason absence, one thing is for certain – fans can’t wait to see their star quarterback back in action on the field, leading the Cowboys to victory. Stay tuned for more updates as this situation continues to evolve.
