July 8, 2025
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, who suffered a hamstring injury in 2024 causing him to miss nine games, is now healthy and preparing to be fully ready for training camp starting July 22, pending final medical clearance.
Prescott has shown his commitment by participating in all offseason drills and is eager to return strongly, aiming to lead the Cowboys to a playoff comeback.
Prescott praised wide receiver George Pickens' football knowledge and attitude, highlighting their developing rapport and excitement for the upcoming season.
With the NFL season approaching, there is increased excitement among fans and players, as the Cowboys aim to rebound from recent struggles with a revamped offense.
He has been participating in non-contact activities during OTAs and resumed throwing by March, indicating significant recovery from his injury.
The Cowboys will hold training camp in Oxnard, California, starting July 21, with Prescott's full participation contingent on final medical clearance.
Despite a challenging 2024 season with a 3-5 record and less-than-stellar statistics, Prescott remains optimistic about the upcoming season and his ability to contribute fully.
He participated in a skill players' retreat at Lake Oconee, Georgia, to improve team chemistry, which he found highly beneficial for the team's cohesion.
He noted that wide receiver CeeDee Lamb's comfort level and leadership have improved significantly, influenced by offseason activities and contract stability.
Prescott is confident in the team's offensive weapons, emphasizing the development of chemistry with new players like George Pickens and existing stars.
This season, Prescott will work with a new head coach, Brian Schottenheimer, and has expressed enthusiasm about developing rapport with new target Pickens, which he believes will strengthen the offense.
The Cowboys' first game of the 2025 season is against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 4, marking the NFL's opening night on Thursday.
