Dak Prescott’s Recovery and Involvement in the Children’s Cancer Fund Gala
The videos of a slimmed down Dak Prescott caused a stir on social media recently.
On Friday night, the Cowboys quarterback told everyone to hold off on giving him the nickname Slim Dak.
How about Redistribution Dak?
Prescott said he’s moved some weight to his legs as part of the rehab process from a torn hamstring injury, suffered in Week 8 against Atlanta. If anything, Prescott said he weighs the same, listed at 238, the weight is just moved around.
Dak Prescott’s Current Condition
When the Cowboys open voluntary workouts Monday at The Star, Prescott will be in attendance but won’t participate much, since he’s still recovering from the injury in which the hamstring tendon tore off the bone.
Yet, his movements in videos on social media, throwing passes to teammates at Celina High School, has led to some excitement that he has recovered.
“I’m getting close to where I want to be,” Prescott said. “I don’t want to put a percentage on it. I know we got team activities coming up. I imagine myself being involved in some sort, not all, but then again, understand my age [31] and what I had and what I went through, it’s about getting to the fall and being my best in the fall and not rush into anything.”
The Children’s Cancer Fund Gala
Friday night was a lot more than football. Prescott along with former Cowboys quarterback and Hall of Famer Troy Aikman are the co-chairs of the Children’s Cancer Fund gala where cancer patients are involved in a fashion show.
Prescott has been involved as an escort since 2017 and a few years ago, Roger Staubach asked Prescott replace him as one of the co-chairs and join Aikman.
“It’s about the kids, but it’s also about the families,” Prescott said. “It’s about the parents being celebrated, and it’s about their support being celebrated. To be a parent and to understand, I can’t even imagine, I wouldn’t want to imagine right what some of these parents have to go through or what they’ve been through. To put a smile on their face and to share love with them and have a good time is all I can ever ask for.”

Dak Prescott’s Rehabilitation Process
“It’s just the work I’ve put into it,” Prescott said before the annual Children’s Cancer Fund gala. “Unfortunately, I’ve been through this process of recovering from injuries before. I embrace it and I know a better version of me is on the other side. That’s just the way I approach this whole offseason, this whole rehab process and a sense of that I’ve moved weight around and I’ve lost weight. But I feel great and getting very, very close every day.”
