The Cowboys issued a warning to Dak Prescott

Although Dak Prescott might be one of the best QBs in the league, he has some injury concerns. The Cowboys recently bestowed their faith on Prescott. However, the owner Jerry Jones doesn’t want his star player to miss game time. 

“If you look at the last three years, he needs to be more available,” said Jones while speaking to reporters during a recent event. Prescott has missed a total of 17 games in the past three seasons. Five of them came last season when he missed game time owing to a thumb injury.
