The Cowboys’ supposed messiah is scheduled for a comeback. He’s the $60 million man with the weight of a franchise on his back and a hamstring that almost derailed the last season. After missing nine games in 2024, the face of America’s Team finally gave fans the clarity they’ve been waiting for. The Cowboys can’t afford to keep their highest-paid star, Dak Prescott, on the sideline, and now the 31-year-old has finally parted the dark clouds gathering on the team’s O-line. “I’m healthy as I’ll be,” he said. “I’ll be full go for camp. I’m healthy, yeah.” The tension lifts in Dallas, but the expectations only grow louder with prayers of a playoff this season.

And all rests on Dak Prescott, who had surgery in November for a partial avulsion of his right hamstring. But now fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief as with news of a positive update and attitude. “I think soon here I’ll probably get an official sign off from doc,” the three-time Pro Bowler said. “But I’m healthy.” That green light might come any day now. But there’s more than just medical paperwork Prescott has to watch for before stepping fully back into the spotlight.

Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer sounded a different kind of alarm. In a video making the rounds on X by Cowboys beat reporter Joseph Hoyt, Joe Milton III nails a clean backflip while Prescott in jersey no. 4 walks by, unfazed. The OC jokingly warned, “I just hope Dak doesn’t get any ideas.” It’s all fun and games—until your $60 million arm thinks it’s Cirque du Soleil. That too, obviously, when he is coming off from an injury-bitten season.

Milton, who joined the Cowboys after a trade from New England in April, also pointed to another reason why the team can not afford another Prescott-less season. He called Prescott a “great leader” and shared how the veteran quarterback constantly helps him behind the scenes. The rookie says the Cowboys’ quarterback room just hits different. That kind of unity could finally break the 29-year drought hanging over Jerry World.

Now, with the quarterback depth stacking up, Lady Luck might finally be in Dallas’ favor. But recent news definitely isn’t pointing towards a positive way.

Tyler Guyton scares the team!

The Dallas Cowboys entered the 2025 season counting on second-year left tackle Tyler Guyton to anchor the blindside at least till 2028. The team had him locked in as their full-time starting left tackle with a price tag of $13.27 million. But that plan hit a snag during training camp on Monday, July 28, when Guyton went down with an injury. For a moment, it looked like disaster had struck, and this season, too, inconsistency would mark the team’s O-line.

Early reports sparked panic in the Cowboys’ camp. Initial fears pointed to a torn ACL, which could’ve ended Guyton’s 2025 season even before it began. However, ESPN’s Todd Archer delivered a more promising update after further imaging. The MRI revealed no ligament damage. Instead, Guyton suffered a fracture, though the exact location remains unclear.

The injury will still sideline Guyton for four to six weeks. There is simply no work about around this issue for Jerry this time. The result? That timeline wipes out the preseason, training camp included, and possibly delays his regular-season debut. But reports suggest it won’t keep him away from the turf or the locker room for long. Dallas opens the season in prime time, facing the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles on September 4 (something they can not take lightly at all).

While the fracture is a blow, it’s a far better outcome than the worst-case scenario. Losing a first-round pick to a major knee injury would’ve been brutal. For now, the Cowboys dodge that fate.
