Dak Prescott underwent surgery after season
Dak Prescott dealt with some significant injuries again this past season, and at least one of them required a surgical procedure.
Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy revealed on Tuesday that Prescott had a “clean-up” surgery on his left shoulder after the season. McCarthy said the injury is not a concern and will not impact Prescott’s offseason availability.

McCarthy also said he does not think the injury impacted Prescott’s play in 2021.
Prescott’s 2020 season was cut short by a gruesome ankle injury. He worked his way back from that, but he was plenty banged up this season. He injured his throwing shoulder during training camp and then missed several games with a calf issue. There was obviously the injury to his left shoulder at some point as well.
The Cowboys once again saw their season end in disappointing fashion. Prescott recently hinted that he would like to have a role in fixing some of the issues the team faced in 2021.
