Cowboys’ Prescott Making Great Progress With Ankle Rehab

Cowboys' Prescott Making Great Progress With Ankle Rehab

When Quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle the Dallas Cowboys season went up in smoke. They would lose four consecutive games after his injury and finish a disappointing 6-10.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported on Saturday that Prescott is walking, using an anti-gravity treadmill, and is doing work in a HydroWorx pool which takes the pressure off the ankle.

“Based on the work he’s put in, what they think, he’s going to come back better than ever,” Rapoport said Saturday on NFL GameDay Morning.

Having Prescott back healthy puts the Cowboys right back in the mix in the NFC. However, the biggest issue surrounding the star signal-caller is his contract situation. He played on a franchise tag that paid him $31.4 million in 2020 and will go up to around $37.7 million in 2021 if another tag is applied, which neither Prescott nor the organization wants.

Round three of the negotiating game is upon us, and the hope is that Prescott and the organization find a way to come to a common ground.

    Dang I just scrolled down and didn’t read much of the comments but was really impressed with how much X88 wrote! What are you a sports writer or you just set behind a desk with nothing else to do but comet on the Cowboys? Ha Anyway I couldn’t write that much in a week!

    I'm not a racist btw guys i just forgot that washington changed to WFT, It would help if they would give themselves a Damn name instead of just "Football Team" XD

    Well do you think the Cowboys will franchise tag him then ? I feel that maybe the best option now since I think about it , you fix the D with draft picks this offense is already one of the best in the league as far as talent with these WRs, Adequate TEs and Zeke and pollard, plus O-Line should be better next year as well , like you said VAM , if the Cowboys can do all that then there's no excuse that the Cowboys shouldn't runaway with this division, the Eagles are a mess , the Redskins are looking for answers at QB , the Giants are too dependant on Barkley, if he gets hurt again they won't be good again , the Cowboys are by far be the team to beat in the NFC East , if Dak under performs , then I'd go and see what we could do to get up in next year's draft and get QB

    Totally agree Gary b, no easy answers. The draft picks before our 1st will determine a lot of what our team will look like moving forward. In any case, I don't see why we can't win this very weak division. Frankly, if DP is a good QB as many think, I don't understand how we could not win this putrid division every year. Look at the division foes with their chaotic QB situations?
  6. Gary b
    Well as I previously stated whatever direction we go with our QB situation comes with risks. We could sign Dak and maybe he doesn't perform well enuf or we could draft a QB that is a bust. I'm just not sure when and where we would sign that rookie QB. We need to address our horrific D early in the draft, and if u take one out of the 1st round the bust rate really goes up. No easy answers.

    LOOK, if we are able to, thru the upcoming draft and FA, get our defense to a decent level, AND we sign DP, then we will see how good or not good this guy is. Should be no more excuses. There should be no reason, with this potent offense, why we should not at LEAST win this WEAK division and maybe win a playoff game. Going into his 6th year now, it's time to deliver. Gary b, I have commented about what we can do to improve the team, along with keeping DP. But X88 has made some good points, and it's hard to assume DP will be our QB because HE has consistently REFUSED all the GENEROUS offers put on the table. I want to see us win a SUPER BOWL with or without DP. I want what is best for the TEAM, and if we go with a rookie, fine.

    I agree a lot with X88 about DP. I was hoping in LAST year's draft we would of somehow trade him and moved up to snag Herbert. I commented about that LAST YEAR. Lets look at this year before his injury. In the five games he played in, lost 3 games to what most people would consider better teams; Rams, Seahawks, Browns. He beat the lowly Falcons by way of a minor miracle, that onside kick debacle, that cost that team's HC his job. Then he was struggling with the lowly Giants, till he got injured. Then Dalton came in to throw two great passes to Gallup, who made two great catches, to set up the winning FG. So basically, he beat one team, Falcons, on a minor miracle. 1-5, barely. These are facts, not opinion. This year I will contend, his glossy stats before injury, that DP lovers tout, were the product of being way down early and opponents going in to prevent defense. When a team is up by 30+ points late in 3rd or 4th quarters, this is normal. Like X88 said, where was this top ten QB at 0-7, 0-14, 0-21. Last year, he started by winning three straight, beating up on bad teams, NYG, WAS, MIA, and that apparently swelled his head, and he then reneged on the "imminent" contract deal that was on the table. Then he went 5-8 the rest of the way, to finish 8-8. He even lost to the Jets. My OPINION is if we have a chance to somehow trade him for picks, we should do it. Draft a promising young QB, and load up on defense. This never ending contract drama is all on DP. This "PAY THE MAN" BS is silly. Cowboys have try REPEATEDLY to sign him. Going into his 6th year now, STILL with that ONE postseason win. IMO, he will not win us a SUPER BOWL. Hate to say that because I'm a long time fan, but I have big doubts that this guy has what it take, especially looking at the last two years.

    Brady cashed in on a couple of max contracts before he started giving the Patriots a discount. This is Daks 1st (and maybe last) chance to cash in. An athlete never knows when they might have a career ending injury. That said ok u can say he’s being greedy, but it is what it is. Incidentally you don’t KNOW we can’t win a SB with Dak. You may think that, but u don’t actually know that. Believe me we could do much worse at QB. I’m not positive Dak is the answer, but I’m hopeful. Why not start working under the assumption Dak is our QB and use ur knowledge to talk about what we can do to continue to improve our team with that in mind.
  10. ThrowuptheX88
    I hope I'm wrong which I could be cuz it seems every prediction I make it goes the opposite of what I say , so low key I'm trying to reverse jinx the Cowboys XD
  11. ThrowuptheX88
    I will no matter what , but I mean do you see a super bowl with Dak ? That's my point I don't want the Cowboys to just be good and just get to playoffs and fall short , we need to do what's gonna get us to a super bowl and as bad of contracts we already have and then Dak taking more than what he's worth (Tom Brady never got his big payday like he could've with the Pats so that they could always be in a position to win ) ,we're not winning a super bowl and that's the goal , we can be good with Dak , but we ain't winning it all with him and that's why I'm ready to move on now then to wait 4-6 more years of mediocrity till everyone figures that out
  12. Gary b
    I can tell you play madden. You have all these scenarios that aren’t gonna happen. 99% chance Jerry resigns Dak. Might wanna come to terms with that and decide if ur gonna roll with him as our QB and root for his success which means success for our team. Because that’s what’s important right?
  13. ThrowuptheX88
    YOU GUYS STILL HAVE YET TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER ABOUT WHICH TEAMS HAVE 3WR1s , A BETTER THAN AVERAGE O-LINE , AND BETTER THAN AVERAGE D , the closest team with that would be the Packers , who i'm the most certain out of the 4 teams left are going to the Super Bowl with Adams , Jones and that great O-Line , the defense could be better but they're good enough , and the Chiefs who are the other team who i believe in the most besides the packers with Mahomes, Ty Hill , Kelce , and Watkins or Hardman , there O-Line is Ok , and there defense is not good , and yet this is the expectation that's placed on the cowboys to get for Dak , every other team in the playoffs doesn't have that kind of talent , YOU GUYS ARE INSANE if you think we can do that all the while taking on Dak's BAD contract , Zeke's BAD contract , and D-Law BAD contract , and J Smith BAD contract and if LVE has one decent year where he doesn't get hurt then we'll sign him to a BAD contract too cuz that's the COWBOY WAY APPARENTLY , OVERPAY FOR AVERAGE PLAYERS
  14. ThrowuptheX88
    And you think 2nd and 3rd rounders or later is gonna fix this D and is more likely than getting a high end QB through a draft ? SMH
  15. ThrowuptheX88
    Andy Dalton , who played after Dak got hurt is an older , not as big of an arm , not as mobile QB as Darnold , he's an upgrade FOR SURE , and I DON'T THINK DAK IS ANY GOOD It's pretty hilarious how you can't expand your mind to a possible trade and the only thing you can say to combat a trade is cuz it would be too complicated , DAK IS NOT GONNA WIN A SUPER BOWL AND THAT'S THE GOAL so why pay someone that kind of money to be just good ? I'd rather take Darnold or Trubisky and suck for one year and get a top pick than be just good with Dak for another 6 years , LOOK AT THE AFC The AFC has ALWAYS been the lesser conference for the last 10 or more years , these teams get high picks and get young QBs and look at them now , the AFC has , Josh Allen , Pat Mahomes , Lamar Jackson , Baker Mayfield , Justin Herbert , Joe Burrow , and the Jags are gonna get T Lawrence . YOU ARE A MORON IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU CAN GET A QB THROUGH DRAFT ESPECIALLY IF YOU GOT TOP PICK As i said before this is the new NFL , QBs work WAY more than before cuz of the offenses becoming more college style offenses than in the past , you're seeing a lot more gun formation than you are I formation or even singleback , and teams are changing their offenses to make it easier on there young QBs , with less reads , plays from the gun , and just running plays these guys are comfortable with , Cowboys get a top pick and you got a real shot of at least being like the Browns are rn , in the playoffs , good in every position , and that's if the QB you select there is a bust , if he turns out good then you got a shot to make it back to NFC championship game and be a Super Bowl contender for years to come , I don't get your argument for Dak with as bad as this team's been how they gonna get so significantly better with all these BAD contracts to the point where the cowboys at least get to a NFC championship game and Super Bowl ? I'M ALL EARS ON HOW THAT WILL HAPPEN , AND YET YOU THINK THAT WILL HAPPEN AND NOT A TRADE , WHO'S THE ONE FOOLING THEIR SELF NOW ?
  16. ThrowuptheX88
    You may not think much of Darnold , but i very much do , tell me how many players have gotten better when they leave Adam Gase ? You know what i'll tell you , Ryan Tannehill who when he was in miami with Gase looked at best a backup , he gets a shot with the Titans and he's a top 15 QB now at least , Devante Parker looked like a bust when Gase was the coach in miami , he had 309 yards and 1 TD ,Parker came back the year after Gase was fired with not much QB help and he put up 1200 yards and 9 TDs , Kenyan Drake looked like he was just a rotation back , now he looks really good there in Arizona , Le'veon Bell played there with Jets and was pretty much never heard from again , the point is WHY WILL SAM DARNOLD BE ANY DIFFERENT ? ADAM GASE IS ONE OF THE WORST HEAD COACHES OF ALL TIME And proof of that is the fact that the Jets were gonna go with Darnold and still might if they can't get D Watson in a trade , with that bad play they should without any doubt go with fields at 2nd overall but that shows how much even they think of Gase ,HE SUCKS
  17. Gary b
    There will be NO trade up for a QB it’s not gonna happen period. You need to put that possibility out of your mind and explore other scenarios if you choose. So that’s where we are? reaching for Darnold who the Jets have already given up on? How much talent do you think a Darnold type QB will require? The cowboys are a loooong way from having the talent to absorb 2nd rate talent at the most important position on the team. You keep fooling ur self into thinking it will be so easy to replace Dak. Sam Darnold lol
  18. ThrowuptheX88
    And it looks like there maybe another possible replacement for Dak, The Jets are the favorite to get DeShaun Watson in trade , so that means that the Cowboys could get Sam Darnold who I like better than Trubisky and he should be about same price tag as Trubisky
  19. ThrowuptheX88
    AND THAT'S WHAT DAK HAS TO HAVE , SOUND LIKE HE ISN'T TOP 10 TO ME
  20. ThrowuptheX88
    And yet Gary b i've yet to here you answer my question about how many teams in the playoffs still or were in the playoffs , how many has 3 WR1s , an average to above average O-Line ,and a average to above average D ? I'll keep waiting til you can present somebody but i don't think there is one
