The Dallas Cowboys’ 2024 season got off to a terribly complicated start and ended in complete disaster, but things didn’t start to go downhill until Dak Prescott got injured
Once the star quarterback was placed on IR after tearing his hamstring against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9, any hope that Dallas could pull off an unexpected turnaround was dashed.

Dak Prescott has no doubts about his return for the upcoming season
There may now be a new regime in town following Mike McCarthy’s departure, with Brian Schottenheimer taking over, but Prescott remains key to the franchise’s goals. You can’t win in the NFL without consistent play at center and Prescott is capable of not only that but more when he’s healthy and fit. It was therefore probably a relief for Schottenheimer’s new staff and Cowboys fans alike when Prescott made a firm statement about his injury recovery status on Saturday.
“I’m not going to put a timetable on it,” Prescott said of his rehabilitation while speaking to reporters at AT&T Stadium for the launch of the Women’s Flag Football League. “But I’ll be ready for the first game, and when something matters, and very, very ready. I feel good. I’m doing more and more. The last two weeks have been huge and progressive for me.”
A great sentence for the Cowboys. The rest of the team needs to improve if they are to seriously compete in the near future, but there is no better answer than the former fourth-rounder when it comes to the quarterback position.
Prescott will need to be as ready as he says he will be when the season kicks off next September.
