Dallas Cowboys star quarterback Dak Prescott told reporters on Tuesday that the walking boot he was in was nothing to worry about and was wearing it as a precaution.
Dak Prescott raised eyebrows among Dallas Cowboys fans last week when he was seen in a walking boot around his ankle with only months to go before Week 1 of the 2024 season. With Prescott only under contract for one more season, the national spotlight is certainly going to be on him no matter what he is doing. Prescott talked to reporters on Tuesday and downplayed the boot, saying he was not injured and that his ankle was just sore.
Honestly, I'm getting older. It's the same ankle that I snapped and had a nasty surgery on four years ago,' he said, via The Athletic. 'Couple of hard days of training and, you know, you get a little sore, and you're going on a fishing trip, and you want to protect it and make sure that things don't get worse. 'Literally, it's absolutely nothing. People are reaching, trying to make things that they aren't. I'm getting older. Have to take care of my body.
Prescott said there had been conversations about an extension and expressed optimism something would get done, but he will leave all of that to his agent. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
