Dak Recovery 4-6 Months

[jsb357]

he needs to go on season ending IR to avoid pushing it too soon.

I think when you see something that gruesome the first reaction is career ending.

True.

We know 4 is a warrior on the field. He’s going to come back strong as ever

 

[jazzcat22]

Could you imagine - Andy gets them to the Superbowl - Dak comes in and they lose. Jerry gives Dak a 42 million a year deal - HEADS WOULD EXPLODE!!

no doubt.
Just imagine this place before the SB if Dak would be announced to play.

 

[cowboyec]

great news.
and what a cool ending when he comes back and wins our Super Bowl LV(E) Championship.
MVP

Well thank goodness for modern medicine. Not to long ago what would have been career ending. It looked nasty and I sure it felt worse. Get well young man.

I am not sure recovery means he will be the same as he was before the injury. Does it? I think it just means that's how much time it will take to go through the healing process and allow the ligaments and tendons to become string enough to allow him to walk and run and all that. Are they saying he will have the same strength, flexibility and range of motion in his ankle?

If it was a clean break a full recovery should never have been in doubt. I haven't heard - was there something more complicated, like a shattered bone or bones, or torn ligaments and tendons, for example?

This time frame of this injury is going to make for an interesting February.

Dallas will need to decide the future of Prescott before the start of free agency in March.

They aren't losing him for nothing. I don't see that anyway.

 

[Doomsday101]

Glad to hear that. The road to recovery will be hard for any player but I think Dak will work his butt off to get himself ready for next season.

Valid point...we can only wait and see. His salary will be greatly reduced next season due to the uncertainty. He’ll probably get a 10 million dollar salary with 10 million in incentives.

I think the fact that its 4 to 6 months lessens the severity of it. Some guys get hurt and don't even come back the next season.

Lots and lots of popcorn

If he's franchise tagged again then it won't be reduced it will actually be raised.

That would be legendary lol...if Dalton gets us to the Super Bowl though I'd have to think they'd let him start that game though.

Yeah they would have too.

Pretty sure he will since the Super Bowl is only 118 days away. Then again...

I don't think that's going to be a problem.

 

[texbumthelife]

8 months is more realistic.

No, it's really not. Myself and at least one other person here have actually had almost the same injury as Dak. I was jogging in 6 months and I am neither a millionaire nor professional athlete. Y'all need to quit talking out your butts.

If you mean how much to pay him, I would think the 2nd tag range would be close.

So that’s now. As for what’s ahead, the Cowboys can, and probably will, tag him again next year. Thing is, it’ll cost $37.69 million to do it, in a year in which the cap could fall all the way down to $175 million. And while that might be a nice way to hold his rights and see how his injury is coming along before waving in the Brink’s trunk, it’s important to remember that not doing a deal at that point will almost certainly mean unfettered free agency for Prescott in 2022. That’s because it’d cost the team $54.27 million to tag him at that point.

If they are saying four months I bet Dak is back before the end of the season.

 

[Ranching]

Lol at people who that was career ending

Pappy's circle jerk crew just went limp!
