The Facts: Prescott is a week into the Dallas Cowboys' 2022 official offseason program, but he already feels "completely different" than he did at this time in 2021 as he worked back from a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle. Prescott had surgery on his left (non-throwing) shoulder earlier in the offseason, but he said "the shoulder's great." Last year, he missed most of training camp with a right latissimus strain and then missed one game in the regular season with a right calf injury. With his health, he can focus on improving on the field. "I'm not rehabbing one thing. I'm working on my whole body," he said. "From my foot speed, it's not just putting this down. Now it's, 'Can I get this thing faster than they've ever been?' It's about improving on the person and player I was before the injury now and being the best player I can be for this organization."
Diehards Line:
Prescott ackowledged he would likely continue some sort of prehab for the ankle injury prior to practices, "not necessarily maybe to the full extent. ... But there are certain precautions and things I will go through to make sure that my leg is ready to go and there's no small injuries coming off that." Prescott also said this is the healthiest he has felt in an offseason in quite some time. Prescott had to focus on rehabbing his fractured right ankle last offseason, so other parts of his preparation for the season were on the back burner throughout the spring. Prescott dealt with right shoulder and calf injuries after returning to action last year and the best-case scenario for the Cowboys this year would be for the offseason good health to carry all the way through the Cowboys’ final game.
