As the Cowboys head into training camp later this month, there are multiple things that fans will be keeping an eye on beyond Dak Prescott’s contract situation. A photo of Prescott walking with a boot on his right foot in Cabo San Lucas was posted to social media, sparking concern among fans. It was later reported that Prescott is wearing the boot due to a foot sprain, although it is not considered to be a serious issue.
The exact timing of when Prescott suffered the injury is unclear, but it does add another layer of uncertainty heading into training camp. Prescott had a fractured right ankle in the 2020 season and missed a game in 2021 due to a calf injury, but did not have any known issues during the 2023 season. The Cowboys will have their first practice in Oxnard, California on July 25, and Prescott’s status will definitely be something to keep an eye on.
Despite the injury, Cowboys fans can take some comfort in the fact that Prescott has overcome injuries in the past and returned to play at a high level. Hopefully, this foot sprain will not linger and Prescott will be able to fully participate in training camp and be ready for the upcoming season. The Cowboys will need Prescott at his best if they hope to compete for a championship in 2023.
