Dak Recovery 4-6 Months

Whyjerry · Oct 12, 2020

That’s good news. With compound fractures you worry about nerve damage and infection. 4-6 months sounds like a positive prognosis. Get well soon Dak.

That sounds about right. That is how long it took me and I did not have all the medical stuff that he will have. The mental aspect is what he will need to work on because you just don't want to go through that pain again.

Lol at people who that was career ending

People were hoping it was which is even worse

SackMaster · Oct 12, 2020

Not surprised at all by the given time frame.

Sorry if I keep repeating myself, but Hurns, by all accounts, had the same injury in the Cowboys January 2019 playoff game and played in the Dolphins season opener in September 2019.

Those who believed Dak's career was over was more wishing than living in reality.

Now it will be interesting how the Cowboys and Dak play this out, but for those praying for Dak never taking another snap as the Cowboys QB, well, I would not make that bet just yet....

I would be shocked if Dak is not back 100%. Get well #4.

DFWJC · Oct 12, 2020

He's young and healthy with a long career ahead of him

He will get there. My point was that this is not Alex Smith. Some here seem to be thinking (or wishing) he was.

JohnsKey19 · Oct 12, 2020

Basically by February he'll be able to practice and go through any QB drills without contact, which is the norm for that time of year.

4 months is almost enough time for the SB.
And if it gets pushed back a few weeks...

If we get to the SB with Dalton, it could be another Dak/Romo situation where they might not want to mess with the chemistry that got them to that point.

i assume this is in jest. But honestly, if Dalton is so good that he can take a team that could've potentially been 0-5, to go all the way to the superbowl, you would take the hot hand out and put in a recovering QB who wouldn't be in football shape?

Avery · Oct 12, 2020

Just need to hope for no infections as that really derailed Alex Smith.

jterrell · Oct 12, 2020

I had a broken ankle (through skin/compound) That was 10 weeks so he may have some additional issues such as torn ligaments or other things.
But not sure why anyone would assume it was anything career threatening.
Dak leaves the season the passing yardage leader and likely MADE money.

CarolinaFathead · Oct 12, 2020

I’ll take it!

JayFord · Oct 12, 2020

4-6 months isnt bad

but Dak is one tough guy......he really was trying to push his ankle back in place like “GIVE ME THE DUCT TAPE!!!” He was like Jack Youngblood when he got injured

20 years ago it would have been. Dak will probably sign another incentive laden 1 year deal and try to make his comeback. Good luck to him.

when did he sign the first incentive laden deal?

Jane Slater has me in high spirits today too!

she went too far into politics lately. She should use the CZ rules for her Twitter account

8 months is more realistic.

yea I thought so too. He really wont be 100% until half way into the season I think. But at least 90% by the time of the season starts.

ShortRound · Oct 12, 2020

Jesus .. Jerry was right about losing wagons along the way to California

khiladi · Oct 12, 2020

This FO is in complete control of the terms, now more so than ever. And if Dalton performs, he could sign a team friendly deal to end his career in his home state, while Dallas grooms a young QB.

good to hear no complications and surgery went well.
