There’s every reason for Dallas Cowboys fans to be optimistic about the upcoming NFL season. While 2020 was a disappointment, the return of star quarterback Dak Prescott from injury in 2021 will give the side a much-needed boost.
The quarterback got off to a flying start to kick-off 2020. But unfortunately, his 2020 campaign was cut short when he picked up a gruesome compound fracture and dislocation of the right ankle.
The quarterback since then has been making sure to do everything he can to return to the field. And it seems like that day is now inching closer.
