• Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Restructures to open up cap space

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Prescott (hamstring) and the Cowboys agreed to terms Wednesday on a contract restructure that opens up $36.6 million in cap space, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Prescott's restructure comes just after the Cowboys made a similar move with CeeDee Lamb's contract, with the two adjustments freeing up a combined $56.6 million in cap space one week before the official start of free agency. The pair of transactions signal a willingness from the Cowboys to make a splash on the open market this offseason or work out a long-term deal for three-time All-Pro Micah Parsons. Prescott remains on track in his recovery from a torn right hamstring that he had surgically repaired back in November.

• Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Recovery proceeding well

  02/12/2025 • By RotoWire

  Prescott (hamstring) said Wednesday his "health is good," and noted that he's "really looking to amp it up here recently" in terms of his rehab process, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. Prescott added that he is now "12 weeks or so" removed from his season-ending surgical procedure, which he underwent in November to address a torn right hamstring. The 31-year-old quarterback indicated that his rehab program is moving in a positive direction, and his expected recovery timeframe leaves open the possibility that Prescott could be fully cleared for the beginning of OTAs. Prescott also expressed excitement about new head coach Brian Schottenheimer's offensive approach, singling out a commitment to the running game and increased play-action as improvements being brought to the Dallas offense. His numbers were underwhelming across his eight appearances in 2024 with 1,978 passing yards, 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions, so Prescott's fantasy outlook for the 2025 campaign will depend both on his returning to full health and Schottenheimer's ability to innovate on offense.

• Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Moves to injured reserve

  11/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Cowboys placed Prescott (hamstring) on injured reserve Monday. This move is merely procedural for Prescott, who underwent surgery to address the partial avulsion of his right hamstring last Wednesday following the injury he suffered Week 9 in Atlanta. While Prescott's recovery process is expected to take upwards of three months, Dallas will turn to Cooper Rush under center for the time being. In addition to Rush, the Cowboys also have 2021 first-round pick Trey Lance on the active roster.

• Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Season-ending surgery confirmed

  11/12/2024 • By RotoWire

  Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that Prescott will undergo season-ending surgery in New York on Wednesday to address a partial avulsion of his right hamstring, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. After seeking one final medical opinion on his hamstring Monday, Prescott has elected to proceed with surgery rather than treating the injury through rest and rehab. According to Jones, Prescott's long-term prognosis is "wonderful," and while the quarterback will miss the remainder of the season, he should be ready to go for training camp, if he isn't fully cleared for OTAs. Cooper Rush started under center in Sunday's loss to the Eagles and will again direct the offense in Week 11 against the Texans, though it wouldn't be surprising if the Cowboys also gave an extended look to Trey Lance at some point. Prescott will conclude his ninth NFL campaign with a 64.7 percent completion rate on 286 pass attempts for 1,978 yards, 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions to go with 54 yards and a touchdown on 13 rushing attempts over his eight appearances.

• Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Season-ending surgery likely on tap

  11/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  Prescott is expected to undergo season-ending surgery in the near future to repair the partial avulsion to his right hamstring, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. A recovery timeline for the procedure would range from 4-to-5 months, meaning the quarterback would miss the rest of the season, and his availability for the start of OTAs could also be affected. The Cowboys didn't place Prescott on injured reserve Saturday, but the team could be saving the additional roster spot for another time. Cooper Rush will take over as the team's immediate starter Sunday versus the Eagles, but it's possible Trey Lance will be worked into the mix if the Cowboys fall out of playoff contention.
