The Dallas Cowboys are gearing up for the 2025 training camp with a mix of challenges and optimism. On one hand, they’re dealing with the arrest of a key player and navigating several tight positional battles. But on the other hand, there’s some positive momentum coming from Dak Prescott’s major health update.
Dak Prescott has confidently declared his full health as he prepares for training camp following hamstring surgery, as noted by Todd Archer on X. Prescott’s participation in all offseason drills strongly signals that he’s ready to lead the charge for the Cowboys at the most crucial position.
Prescott is definitely focused on achieving what’s eluded him so far – a championship. The soon-to-be 32-year-old is clear about his priorities. “Yeah, I want to win a championship,” Prescott stated. “The legacy, the things, whatever comes after I finish playing, will take care of itself. I want to win a championship. Be damned if it’s just for my legacy. Or if it’s for this team, for my personal being, for my sanity. Yeah, the legacy will take care of itself. I have to stay where my feet are.”
Prescott’s return to form is vital for the Cowboys’ pursuit of lofty goals. His absence has historically been felt whenever he’s missed key segments of the season, showing just how integral he is to the team’s success.
From all accounts, Prescott is feeling optimistic about the Cowboys’ trajectory. “These OTAs, just the way that I’ve been seeing minicamp, the communication with (head coach Brian Schottenheimer), with the quarterbacks or the quarterback room, just a lot of good things,” Prescott mentioned. “A lot of really good things that have me in a great place. I’m healthy. Excited as hell.”
Nevertheless, it’s worth noting that head coach Brian Schottenheimer provided a tempered view when discussing Prescott’s status, suggesting he’s still in a developmental phase along with the young quarterbacks on the team. “I think they all are,” Schottenheimer mentioned, when asked about new acquisition Joe Milton III. “I think Dak is in the developmental phase. It sounds crazy for a guy who’s played that much, but there are things we’re tweaking with Dak. It’s not just for Joe.”
As the Cowboys head into the new season, Prescott’s health and continued development will likely be pivotal in their quest for a championship. With Prescott confident and ready, Dallas fans have plenty to be excited about.
