1. Dak Prescott’s ankle recovery

The last time we saw quarterback Dak Prescott, he was being carted off after a gruesome ankle fracture in Week 5 of the 2020 season against the New York Giants. Now, the world gets to see just how the former rookie of the year is progressing from that injury.

The 27-year-old quarterback was having an elite season before his injury. Through just five games in 2020, he threw for 1,856 passing yards, nine passing touchdowns, and three rushing touchdowns.

Prescott was on pace to shatter the passing yards record which is held by former Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning who threw for 5,477 yards in 2013.

Prescott’s recovery could be a major reason why many people tune into this series. Seeing how the former Mississippi State quarterback is doing after his injury and if he can still play like he did in 2020.
