Seven months after suffering a career-threatening ankle injury, Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott says he’s confident he could play in an NFL game right now.
Prescott spoke to ESPN’s Sage Steele on her Sunday SportsCenter segment and said he would not be worried about his leg if he faced game action:
“When I got hurt, I never said I wasn’t going to let anybody put a time on it. Because I’m a competitive guy, and I knew once I heard the four to six [months], I was going to try to beat that. But I also knew I didn’t have to be ready until fall. I’m right on pace. As I said, I’m healthy. If we had to play a game now, I feel like I can go out there. Obviously with the protection of my O-line and making sure I’m not getting beat up the whole game, I could go out there and be very successful, start the game, finish the game and not even worry about the leg.”
Prescott underwent surgery in October to repair a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle. He was expected to face a rehabilitation period of four to six months, which would theoretically make him available for mandatory minicamp in June.
