Cowboys QB Dak Prescott was a “full participant in the team’s offseason program and is expected to carry those responsibilities into training camp,” per beat writer Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Recall that Dak last played in Week 9 of last season because of a hamstring tear.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott said he’s “getting close to where I want to be” in his recovery from a torn right hamstring. "If I had to play a game today, I definitely could do that," Prescott added via ESPN. "It's about moving forward healthy to make sure I can play 17 times, 20 [games] -- whatever we get to when the time's right." Recall that Prescott needed surgery and was placed on IR following the Week 9 injury.

The Cowboys named Brian Schottenheimer their new HC. This will be the 51-year-old's first shot at a HC gig. He's spent 14 seasons as an OC, including the last two with Dallas. The 2023 Cowboys ranked first in points and fifth in total yards. Injuries, particularly to QB Dak Prescott, were a big reason Dallas sunk to 21st in points and 17th in yards this past year. "The sense around the league is that this is a Dak Prescott hire," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said Friday night. "Dak Prescott likes Schottenheimer and the offensive chemistry they have together. He likes the continuity he brings. So it's kinda just running it back in a lot of ways." It's certainly not the most exciting hire, but it does make the range of outcomes on Dallas' offense in 2025 narrower. Prescott is a good bounce-back bet, while WR CeeDee Lamb should be a top-10 pick in 2025 fantasy drafts.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is “planning” to undergo surgery on his hamstring, “pending the opinion of one final specialist.” We’ll let you know when the official word comes down, but this one appears pretty clear. Per Schefter, "the Cowboys believe it is better to address the injury now than to let it heal on its own and encounter complications later." Cooper Rush figures to start in the short term, but it wouldn’t be surprising if Dallas opts to start Trey Lance at some point. Rush sits deep in QB2 territory in our Week 10 QB rankings.

The Cowboys are placing QB Dak Prescott on IR with his hamstring injury, EVP Stephen Jones said Friday. That knocks Prescott out for at least the next four games. But the Fort Worth Star-Telegram hears that "the expected timeline is expected to trend closer to six weeks or more." The earliest Prescott could return is Week 14. A 6-week absence would have him out until Week 16. Dallas' season could be over for all intents and purposes at that point. Prescott is very droppable in 1-QB leagues without an IR spot.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Friday that QB Dak Prescott is trying to avoid hamstring surgery, which would presumably end his season. "He doesn't want surgery," Jones said. "He wants to be on the field and go for it. We'll just see how it goes here." Jones added that the team hasn't yet decided whether to place Prescott on IR, which would knock him out for at least four games. We'll keep you updated on the situation, but we continue to expect Prescott to miss multiple games with this injury.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott's hamstring is partially torn off the bone, NFL Network's Jane Slater reports. "I’m told it typically takes more than a 4-week recovery," Slater adds. This injury can sometimes take 6-10 weeks to return from. Prescott is still seeking other opinions before the Cowboys decide whether to place him on IR. That seems like the most likely outcome at this point, though. And it's possible that Prescott misses more than four weeks. He's droppable in shallower fantasy leagues.

Jerry Jones revealed during his weekly Tuesday radio spot that the Cowboys will place QB Dak Prescott on IR for his hamstring injury. That means the QB will miss at least the next four games.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday's loss at Atlanta, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott left Week 9 with a hamstring injury and was ruled out in the 4th quarter. Cooper Rush has taken over under center.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is dealing with a sprained right foot, according to The Dallas Morning News' Calvin Watkins. Prescott was recently spotted with the foot in a boot while vacationing in Cabo San Lucas. It's unclear when or how Prescott suffered the injury, but a source tells Watkins that it isn't serious.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott completed 14 of 24 attempts for 153 yards with 1 TDs and 3 INTs in Week 5’s loss vs. the 49ers. It sure seems like this guy has a bad case of the whoopsies. Since returning from a thumb injury in Week 7 of last season, Prescott has thrown 15 INTs in 16 regular season games. He’s going to remain off the fantasy radar in 1QB leagues until there’s some demonstrative improvement. Next week, he’ll face off against the Chargers.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott completed 23 of 37 attempts for 206 yards with 1 TD and 2 INTs in Sunday's Divisional Round loss vs. the 49ers. The veteran QB also added 22 rushing yards on 4 carries in the contest. Prescott fell back into his ways of throwing risky passes after a stellar performance last week vs. the Buccaneers in the Wild Card round, and the resurfacing of this turnover issue couldn't have come at a worse time. He'd had a 7-game INT streak prior to last week's contest. Prescott's 15 INTs in 12 games led the NFL in the regular season, though averaging 16.6 fantasy points per game with a stabilizing plate in his thumb could be worse. We expect Prescott to return to the QB1 conversation in 2023.
