The Dallas Cowboys' 2024 season got off to a terribly rocky start and ended in complete disaster, but things didn't really start to spiral until Dak Prescott got hurt. Once the star quarterback was placed on IR after tearing his hamstring against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9, any hopes Dallas might author an unlikely turnaround went up in flames.
There may now be a new regime in town following Mike McCarthy's ouster, with Brian Schottenheimer taking over, but Prescott remains key to the franchise's goals. No winning can be done in the NFL without steady play under center and Prescott is capable of not just that but more when he's healthy and rolling. So it likely came as a relief to Schottenheimer's new staff and Cowboys fans alike when Prescott made a firm declaration on his injury recovery status on Saturday.
