It is only the second time in Dak Prescott‘s nine-year NFL career that he has missed a Thanksgiving game, after suffering a hamstring injury during the Week 9 loss to the Dallas Cowboys against the Atlanta Falcons.
Prescott’s initial diagnosis was a partial avulsion of the hamstring tendon, which means that the hamstring tendon was partially detached from the bone, and while he was originally expected to be out for several weeks, it was later said that the quarterback would miss the rest of the 2024 season to go under the knife to repair the injury.
Prescott went 3-5 as a starter this season and completed 64.7% of his passes for 1,978 yards, 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions, but the injury did not seem to dampen Prescott’s spirits and he is already set on his offseason plans.
Dak Prescott’s presence at 3DQB confirmed
On his official Instagram account, he shared an exciting update for young aspiring quarterbacks, confirming the holding of the 4th Annual Dallas Quarterback Camp (3DQB), an academy for youth football quarterbacks.
According to the post’s title, the 31-year-old veteran will provide key lessons to young athletes at the camp. According to the post, the camp will be held between January 31 and February 2 at Celina High School.
“Exciting news for aspiring quarterbacks! Join us for the 4th Annual Dallas Quarterback Camp! Dates: January 31 – February 2 Location: Dallas, Texas @ Celina High School,” read the title of the 3DQB Academy post.

Dak Prescott stands out for his humanitarian service
In addition, Prescott will have another alternate activity while he recovers from his injury, as the passer has a foundation called Faith Fight Finish (FFF) with which he seeks to invest in a better future for people, families and communities in adverse situations. It was created as a tribute to his mother Peggy, who died of colon cancer in 2013, and honors his brother Jace, who committed suicide in 2020.
Through Faith Fight Finish and in partnership with DICK’S Sporting Goods, Prescott decided to benefit 30 children from St. Philip’s School, a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas, where hundreds of children are educated in religion to be an agent of change in the community and develop human capital.
