Cowboys' Dak Prescott: 'This Is the Healthiest I've Been in a Long, Long Time'

While taking part in his team's offseason program, Dallas Cowboys star Dak Prescott is back to full strength.

The quarterback told reporters that this is the healthiest he has been in a long time. It feels great.

After dealing with shoulder and calf issues during the 2021 campaign, Prescott had surgery on his left shoulder. He had an ankle injury in 2020 that cost him 11 games, and he spent much of the off-season rehabbing.

Despite the ailments, the 28-year-old still missed just one game in 2021, and finished with 4,450 passing yards, 37 touchdown and an 11-5 record as a starter. He was second in voting for Comeback Player of the Year behind Joe Burrow, and his passer rating was third in the NFL.

In 2020 he was on a historic pace with an average of 371.2 passing yards per game before his injury in Week 5.

If he can stay healthy, he can be one of the top quarterbacks in the league.

Expectations are high for a player with an average annual salary.

The Cowboys lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the wild-card round of the playoffs. The organization has not reached the conference title game since 1995 and has only one postseason win since the drafting of the quarterback.

There will be no excuses heading into a pressure-filled 2022.
