Although he&#8217;s back to being healthy again, the Cowboys will ease Prescott back into the mix.<\/p>\n<p>Last season was a difficult start to a major contract extension for Prescott. After signing a four-year contract, worth $240 million, Prescott battled through an injury halfway through the year. By November, he would undergo surgery and missed the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n<p>While Prescott&#8217;s absence was certainly a major blow for the Cowboys, the veteran passer was struggling through his first eight games of action prior to the setback. Prescott had a 3-5 record, completing just 64 percent of his passes for 1,978 yards, 11 touchdowns, and eight interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>Prescott&#8217;s follow-up to an MVP-caliber year was certainly disappointing. Without him, the Cowboys missed the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Heading into the 2025\u00a0NFL\u00a0season, Prescott clearly feels confident as he&#8217;s feeling healthy again. Dallas helped their franchise quarterback by adding another weapon in the passing game with former Pittsburgh Steelers standout wide receiver George Pickens.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Prescott getting healthy again, along with the new additions,\u00a0NFL\u00a0fans clearly aren&#8217;t too confident in the Cowboys heading into the 2025\u00a0NFL\u00a0season.<\/p>\n<p>History doesn&#8217;t bode well for Prescott&#8217;s Cowboys. They&#8217;ve had some successful regular seasons, making the playoffs seven times since 2016.<\/p>\n<p>However, they are just 2-5 in the postseason since the Prescott era kicked off. Their 2023 playoff run ended in one game after a 12-5 year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming off an injury-filled season, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is feeling confident.
