From the article:
It's four days before the Cowboys play the Carolina Panthers, and Prescott is in the middle of a process that he, the Cowboys' strength and conditioning staff, athletic training staff, coach Mike McCarthy and Prescott's personal physical therapist, Luke Miller, have designed to get the quarterback physically ready to play each week.
The collaboration has Prescott playing the best football of his career as he enters Sunday's pivotal NFC East matchup between the 9-3 Cowboys and 10-2 Philadelphia Eagles at AT&T Stadium (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC). It might not settle a division race, but it could matter if these teams were to meet in the playoffs.
"It truly is a village," Prescott said.
Injuries have marked Prescott's recent career after he started his first 64 games without incident. A dislocated and fractured right ankle in 2020 required two surgeries. A strained lat muscle in his back in training camp in 2021. A calf injury after six games in 2021. A left shoulder surgery after the 2021 season. A right thumb surgery that cost him five games in 2022.
In dealing with the setbacks, Prescott learned the value of his body and the value of his village.
"One thousand percent I'd say they make the pieces stronger," Prescott, 30, said. "No, I wasn't broken, but I was injured ... [When] you're getting older and things are going to tighten up ... I don't want to regress, and I want to make sure I'm hitting my stride.
"You're always looking at greats and what they're doing, and you see guys, like LeBron [James], Tom Brady, have these methods and spend millions of dollars on their body each year, and you wonder why. And it's obvious when they're playing as long as they played at such a high level that that's what they need to do to feel comfortable.
"So for me, it's about making sure just, yeah, I leave no stone unturned."

Maybe you shouldn't be creating thread's that make Dak look in a good light while you're busy wanting him replaced.
