Dak Prescott’s Bold Claim Amid Injury Rehab Gets Mixed Reactions from Fans
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is still working his way back from a hamstring injury that limited him to just eight games in 2024. Although he’s not yet cleared for full-contact activities, Prescott has been posting gym workout videos, showing fans he’s on the mend. However, his recent bold claim about being ready to play has stirred up quite a bit of buzz.
Prescott told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, “If I had to play a game today, I definitely could do that. It’s about moving forward healthy to make sure I can play 17-20 times when the time is right.” This statement quickly caught the attention of fans, and not everyone was buying it.
One fan responded, “You could, but how ‘well’?” Another added, “And he’d lose!” A few others didn’t hold back either. One commenter said, “If he had to lose a playoff game today, he definitely could.” Another one chimed in with, “And throw two picks in the red zone.” And a more critical voice said, “Way overrated and way overpaid but on the bright side, he can’t win in the playoffs… enjoy.”
Despite the skepticism, Prescott still has plenty of time to heal before the 2025 NFL season kicks off. It’s uncertain whether he’ll be ready for Week 1, but for now, the focus is on getting back to full health. Last season, Prescott played all 17 games, throwing for 4,516 yards, 36 touchdowns, and leading the league with 410 completed passes.
Fans remain divided on Prescott’s claim, but one thing’s for sure: the pressure is on for him to prove them wrong when he’s back on the field.
