The Dallas Cowboys quarterback told reporters Tuesday, July 8 he is fully recovered from the hamstring surgery he underwent last November. Barring any sudden concerns arising during one last visit with team doctors, Prescott anticipates being a full participant at Cowboys training camp.
Prescott, 31, suffered a partial avulsion to his right hamstring in a Week 9 game against the Atlanta Falcons last year. In more explicit terms, Prescott’s hamstring tendon tore almost completely off of his thigh bone.
He decided to undergo the season-ending surgery to repair his hamstring about one week later.
Prescott’s Tuesday announcement is not a big surprise. The three-time Pro Bowler had participated in all of the Cowboys’ drills during spring practices, so all signs were pointing toward a full participation in training camp.
Thanks to his injury, the 2023 MVP runner-up was unable to build on a season in which he led the league in passing touchdowns. Prescott finished last year with 1,978 yards, 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions on a 64.7% completion rate in his eight games played.
He, along with the rest of Dallas’ veterans and rookies, will report to Oxnard, California for the start of the team’s training camp on July 21.
