It\u2019s the first time since 2020 that the Cowboys won\u2019t be in the playoffs. But, all is not lost, because there\u2019s some good news on the horizon for the Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p>While this season may be a wash, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has a positive indicator for the future.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Dak Prescott Says He\u2019ll Be \u2018Fully Ready for Offseason Workouts\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>During Sunday Night Football on December 22, the Cowboys played a strong game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and pulled off a win, with a 26-24 victory. Backup quarterback Cooper Rush led the team to the win, but it\u2019ll also be nice when Prescott is back.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e00-marca.uecdn.es\/assets\/multimedia\/imagenes\/2024\/12\/24\/17350336935391.jpg\" alt=\"Despite Cowboys chaos, Jerry Jones reiterates his confidence in McCarthy:  &quot;I take my hat off to him&quot; | Marca\" \/><\/p>\n<p>During the NBC broadcast of the game, the commentators gave an update on Prescott and how he\u2019s doing with his season-ending injury. The camera moved to Prescott while Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth talked about the time the quarterback has missed this season. Then, they chatted with sideline reporter Melissa Stark, who discussed what she and Prescott talked about ahead of the game.<\/p>\n<p>Stark said that Prescott said he recently got off of his crutches and will start running in about a month. She also said that Prescott said he would be primed for offseason workouts.<\/p>\n<p>Per Jon Machota of The Athletic, \u201cNBC\u2019s Melissa Stark said Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (hamstring) told her he got off crutches last week. He\u2019s about a month away from starting to run. Prescott is adamant that he will be fully ready for offseason workouts in April.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tommy Yarrish, who covers the Dallas Cowboys for the team\u2019s official website, also shared a video on X of Prescott walking without crutches and noted, \u201cHere\u2019s a good sign: Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott walking under his own power on the sideline #DallasCowboys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a good sign that Prescott is continuing his narrative that he feels he\u2019ll be ready to go during the offseason.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Prescott Motives Teammates From Sidelines<\/h2>\n<p>Even when Prescott isn\u2019t on the field with his teammates, he works to keep them motivated from the sidelines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, it\u2019s about knowing my teammates more than just their numbers and knowing their family,\u201d he said during an interview with Anne Erickson for Heavy Sports, which was in conjunction with Prescott\u2019s holiday charity campaign with\u00a0Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods. \u201cKnowing what motivates them and why they\u2019re inspired really more than motivated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cSo for me, being from the sidelines, able to just spark those conversations. Maybe say their kid\u2019s name. Maybe, \u2018Hey. Let\u2019s go get this money.\u2019 Whatever it is that I know motivates or inspires that guy to be better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prescot also said that, \u201cThis is when everything that I preach about the camaraderie or the culture of the brotherhood that we have or the leadership that I\u2019ve invested long before now really comes into play with my teammates. The fact of knowing them more than their numbers and being able to get in with them off the field to lock them in on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anne Erickson Anne Erickson is an award-winning reporter covering the NFL and college football for Heavy.com.
