The latest news surrounding the Dallas Cowboys is here.
QB1 says he could play today.
Dak Prescott won’t play a real game for another five months, and his surgically repaired hamstring is almost healed now.
“If I had to play a game today, I definitely could do that,” the Cowboys quarterback said Friday, via Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “It’s about moving forward healthy to make sure I can play 17-20 times when the time is right.”

I embrace it and I know a better version of me is on the other side. That’s just the way I approach this whole offseason, this whole rehab process and a sense of that I’ve moved weight around and I’ve lost weight. But I feel great and getting very, very close every day.”
When the Cowboys open voluntary workouts on Monday at The Star, Prescott will be in attendance but won’t participate much, as he’s still recovering from a hamstring injury in which the tendon tore off the bone.
