The Dallas Cowboys' disappointing 2024 NFL campaign was marred by injuries, including a season-ending injury suffered by star quarterback Dak Prescott in the team's Week 9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Prescott suffered a partial avulsion of his right hamstring, with the tendon pulling away from the bone.

He had surgery to repair his hamstring on November 13, 2024, and has since been working hard in his rehab process. Recently, Prescott shared a workout video that showed he is regaining mobility and moving around well just four months after going under the knife.

"Dak's doing great. He's coming along. He's very thrilled with where he is. And I know the trainers are too. I feel like he's doing a hell of a job," Jones said, via Jon Machota of The Athletic.

Jones also discussed Prescott's availability for the start of the offseason program. While he won't be 100 percent, Jones praised the quarterback's work ethic.

"He'll have some limitations, yeah. But knowing Dak, he's a worker. He's thrilled with where he is," he said.

It's great to see Prescott is coming along well, but hopefully he won't rush the process and will make sure he is back to full strength before going at full speed. But, knowing the way Prescott has bounced back from injuries in the past, he will be fine.
