Cowboys news: Dak Prescott returns to the field and participates in first OTA session Get your Tuesday Cowboys news here! It’s been a long wait, but Dak Prescott is returning to football activities. It was back on October 11 of last year that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott suffered an absolutely horrific season-ending ankle injury in a game against the New York Giants. At that point, there was absolutely no telling when Prescott would return or whether he’d ever be 100% again. Now, 225 days later, Prescott is back on the practice field throwing passes to wide receivers during the opening of the Cowboys’ organized team activities.
