The Dallas Cowboys can’t afford to lose QB Dak Prescott at this point of the season. The team has already booked a place in the playoffs. And Prescott is the key for a deep run in the postseason, ideally to the Super Bowl. The fans were concerned when the QB hobbled for a bit in the week 17 clash with the Tennessee Titans. But franchise owner Jerry Jones has vivified them with an update on the QB’s health.

The Cowboys overcame the Titans on Thursday Night Football in the last NFL game of 2022. And they still have a chance to clinch the division if some results go their way.

“No, but he is in good shape,” Jones said of his knowledge of what happened to Prescott during the game.

“I don’t know what happened. He may have hyperextended it a little bit and almost immediately we were checking with the team and checking with the sideline. And we knew he was gonna be good,” Jones added.

Fans feared Prescott might have injured his knee after a big blow from the Titans‘ defensive end Demarcus Walker. But he played through whatever pain he must have had and led the team to the victory. And after the update from the 80-year-old billionaire, fans can expect to see him under center when the Cowboys take the field against the Washington Commanders in the final regular season game.

The QB on song

Dak Prescott had a jittery start to the 2022 season. He even missed some time on the field due to a thumb injury. But since coming back into the team, Prescott has been on song, guiding the team to a playoff berth and keeping them in the hunt for the divisional title. This is despite sharing the division with the almost invincible Philadelphia Eagles.

Prescott led the Cowboys to a win against the Eagles during the Christmas weekend in week 16. And if the Eagles drop both their remaining games, the Cowboys might have a divisional title to show for their efforts in the regular season.

Prescott has played just 11 of the team’s 16 games so far and only lost thrice in that period. He has thrown 2,732 passing yards with 22 touchdown passes in those 11 outings. Still great numbers considering he missed a chunk of the season earlier.
