The Facts: One of the biggest offseason questions for the Cowboys is the health of Prescott. Because he signed the richest contract in team history — $160 million over four years — any fears about Prescott's ability to return from two surgeries on his right ankle should be eased. The Cowboys wouldn't have done it if Prescott's health was a long-term problem. Tuesday afternoon, Prescott made a statement that confirmed this assumption. "I'm close. I can go play in a game right now," he said.

Diehards Line:Prescott added: "And in my head be very, very successful. So there is no doubt when I need to be successful, when I need to do the things that it takes to be on the field, I'll do exactly that and the time will be right. ..." The surgeries to Prescott's ankle were serious. Doctors had to repair a compound fracture and dislocation of the right ankle in October. Then in December, Prescott got a cleanup of the same ankle to strengthen it. The second surgery would have occurred at some point regardless of what transpired against the Giants in October. Whether Prescott will participate in on-the-field activities in the next few months is uncertain. He said he's already healthy enough to play, and that's all the Cowboys need to hear. When training camp starts in late July, Prescott will be there, and the Cowboys will know they have a man ready to lead them on the field and in the community.
