Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was on his way to a record-setting 2020 season before suffering a compound ankle fracture against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5. Nine months later, Prescott (and Cowboys nation) is hoping to enter his sixth NFL campaign fully recovered and in the same form.
So far, so good.
According to Yahoo's Charles Robinson, who observed Cowboys training camp in person on Thursday, Prescott's movement looks encouraging sharp.
“On #Cowboys Prescott, not going to assess his passing as he gets back into a groove,” Robinson tweeted. “But movement on that ankle looks good. They’re rolling him out quite a bit. Looks like he never had an injury. That would be the first box I’d want to check. Does he look healthy from jump? Yes.”
Despite Prescott's injury, the Cowboys — confident in the 27-year-old's recovery — signed their franchise QB to a four-year, $160 million deal in March.
Prescott's promising training camp showing (thus far) surely won't come as a surprise to…Dak Prescott. Last month, he expressed a decidedly glass-half-full approach towards the upcoming season.
“Improvement, a lot of improvement, obviously from last year to this year, but deeper than that from those first five games,” Prescott told NBC 5. “Take those first five games and just say we’re going to be better than that as a team. We’re going to play more complementary football from defense to offense to special teams, and then we’re going to have a healthy team…It’s going to be very, very special for us and for Cowboys fans.”
The Cowboys' first pre-season game will come on Thursday, Aug. 5 vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL's annual Hall of Fame Game. Dallas kicks off their 2021 regular season on Sept. 9, with a road matchup against Tom Brady and the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
