 <\/p>\n

The buzz in Dallas isn\u2019t about who\u2019s coming to training camp- it\u2019s about who\u00a0might not be ready<\/em>\u00a0for it. Cowboys quarterback\u00a0Dak Prescott<\/a>\u00a0is still on the mend, and fans who assumed he was fully healthy got a jolt this week.<\/p>\n

Despite reports and footage of him working out with teammates, Cowboys executive vice president and co-owner Stephen Jones threw cold water on the optimism surrounding Prescott\u2019s recovery.<\/p>\n

Jones, speaking to\u00a0The Dallas Morning News<\/a><\/em>\u2019 Calvin Watkins, made it clear the team doesn\u2019t plan to rush its $60 million quarterback back into action.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust as you would expect. We\u2019re going to be very cautious and conservative,\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Jones said.\u00a0\u201cBut if you left it up to him, he\u2019d be out here throwing to them, ready to play the Giants on Monday night.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

That comment alone raised some eyebrows and sparked immediate concern. If Dak Prescott were truly at full strength, would there even be a need for such a conservative tone?<\/p>\n

<\/em><\/em>Dak Prescott\u2019s 2024 campaign never got off the ground. He threw for just 11 touchdowns against 8 interceptions in limited action before a torn hamstring in November ended his season. His QBR ranked 29th in the league- a far cry from what Dallas needs if it wants to stay competitive in a suddenly brutal NFC East.<\/p>\n

Though he\u2019s appeared in several offseason throwing sessions with teammates, the fact that Jones still won\u2019t commit to him being ready for Organized Team Activities on May 19 says a lot. The organization clearly remembers how fast things can go south when Prescott isn\u2019t right. And with a reshaped division that includes a reloaded Eagles squad, a surging Washington roster, and a Giants team fresh off a strong draft, the Cowboys can\u2019t afford a slow start.<\/p>\n

Dak Prescott turned 31 this offseason. The margin for error shrinks every year, especially when you\u2019re playing under one of the league\u2019s biggest contracts. If the Cowboys stumble and their quarterback can\u2019t stay healthy, the front office will face difficult decisions in 2026.<\/p>\n

For now, the message is clear: the Cowboys trust their guy, but they\u2019re not taking chances. They\u2019ve seen what happens when Prescott pushes too hard, too soon. Whether that cautious approach keeps him on the field or leads to a longer wait, one thing is certain, all eyes in Dallas are locked on No. 4.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
