Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a season-ending hamstring injury earlier this year that required surgery to repair.

The good news is that the prognosis for Prescott’s recovery is very favorable. To Football on Sunday eveningsthe NBC broadcast team provided an update.

“Dak tore his right Achilles tendon in Week 9,” a sideline reporter reported Melissa Stark said. “Ten days later, on November 13th, he had surgery and I met him before the game. He said he just got off the crutches last week.”

Dak Prescott was seen in the suites on Sunday night, enjoying the game from the comfort of the stadium.

As a mobile quarterback, how he recovers from the hamstring injury will be crucial. Moving forward, he will need to regain his mobility, and Stark explained where he is in that process.

“He said he was about a month away from starting running and really getting some exercise,” Stark said. “And right now he’s focusing on core and upper body strength as well as building muscle in his right leg. He was confident he would be fully ready for off-season training beginning in April.”

This timeline fits what Dak Prescott previously told reporters. About two weeks ago he discovered He hoped that the OTAs would take off.

“My plan is to start OTAs and start the offseason with no restrictions and at full strength,” Prescott said. “This is a part of this operation that we thought was inevitable anyway. At this point, I’m just doing everything I can to be the best quarterback and leader of this team and help this team compete next year as the best team possible.”

31-year-old Dak Prescott suffered the injury in the third quarter of Week 9’s 27-21 road loss to the Atlanta Falcons (6-6). Dallas placed Prescott on injured reserve, ending his season. Prescott has had a year full of ups and downs after signing a lucrative contract extension before the season that made him the highest-paid player in the NFL. He completed 64.7% of his passes – the second-worst rate of his career – for 1,978 yards, 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
