Cowboys' Dak Prescott Reportedly Set for 4-6 Month Rehab After Leg Injury
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is out for the remainder of the 2020 NFL season after suffering a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle in Sunday's 37-34 win over the New York Giants.
The 27-year-old was taken immediately to the hospital and underwent surgery. Per ESPN's Todd Archer, Prescott's timeline for recovery is four to six months.

Dak Prescott Just Lost a $144 Million Gamble
Dak Prescott wanted the shorter contract that would have set him up for free agency after the rich new NFL television contracts kick in to boost the salary cap into the stratosphere. The Dallas Cowboys wanted to lock him into a longer deal.
When they couldn’t find the happy medium, both sides rolled the dice on the franchise tag. The dice came up snake eyes, and it may have just cost the fifth-year quarterback somewhere in the vicinity of $144 million.

Dak Prescott’s rookie contract expired at the end of the 2019 season. The quarterback and the Dallas Cowboys were unable to reach an agreement on a long-term contract, so the team applied the franchise tag, setting Prescott up for a fully guaranteed $31.4 million salary this season.
The NFL Network’s Jane Slater reported in July that the Cowboys’ last offer had been in the neighborhood of $175 million over five years, with about $110 million guaranteed. The hang-up was widely believed to be that Prescott wanted a four-year deal that would get him to his next negotiation sooner, but after the increased television revenue stream raised the salary cap.
Backing the franchise-tag salary out from the estimated $175 million offer, Prescott was making what amounted to about a $144 million gamble on his future.
Prescott becomes an unrestricted free agent after the season if the Cowboys don’t apply the franchise tag again, this time for $37,690,800.
Now, the severity of the injury will dictate Prescott’s future. However, the likely end to his season leaves Prescott with less leverage in the short term.
