Rumors surrounding Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott’s health have been causing a stir.
Recent speculation suggests Prescott is not fully fit, which has led to a surge in bets against the Cowboys. The rumors, discussed by pro sports bettor Steve Fezzik on The Ross Tucker Podcast, suggest Prescott underwent an MRI, although this remains unconfirmed.
Fezzik mentioned that these health concerns are influencing betting patterns:
“Dak Prescott…News is, he’s not 100%, and they’ve been betting against the Cowboys the last three days…There’s rumors that he had an MRI. That’s unconfirmed, but that’s the rumors that I’m hearing.”
If true, Prescott’s health issues could significantly impact the Cowboys’ Super Bowl aspirations. Historically, the NFC East has struggled with repeat champions, and as the 2023 division winners, Dallas aims to break that cycle in 2024. A team official has dismissed the injury rumors, calling them baseless.
Prescott’s contract situation adds another layer of complexity. Entering the final year of his four-year, $160 million deal, any injury could jeopardize his financial future. The Cowboys have a history of drawn-out contract negotiations with Prescott, and with star receiver CeeDee Lamb also due for a big payday, decisions on extensions are crucial.
Despite the media scrutiny, Prescott has been a reliable leader for the Cowboys, boasting a 73-41-0 record in the regular season when starting at least 10 games. However, the team has not advanced past the divisional round since their Super Bowl XXX victory. The 2024 season is pivotal for Prescott, who needs a strong performance to secure a lucrative extension.
The upcoming season will test Prescott’s resilience and the Cowboys’ ability to overcome internal and external challenges. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if Prescott can lead the team to success and silence the rumors about his health.
