FRISCO (105.3 The Fan) - Dak Prescott walked into the room without any signs of undergoing multiple surgeries on his injured ankle. He walked without a limp and wasn't wearing any kind of brace to support his ankle.

And, how is he feeling?

“I thought about jogging and jumping up on the stage, but I don’t know if y’all are ready for that,” Prescott said Wednesday at the press conference to announce his new deal. “But I’m healthy. I obviously haven’t talked to you guys. Thank you for the support. Thank you, Cowboy Nation. Everyone out there that was praying for me, sending their condolences, that’s a feeling that I’ll never be able to put into words to be in that hospital bed and not knowing really what’s going to happen, sitting there just coming out of surgery. But getting all the support from family, from coaches, from former coaches, from teammates and Cowboys Nation and even a lot of you, I’m just so thankful for that.

“But I’m healthy. As I said, I control what I control. I followed the doctor’s orders the whole time, put in my own work ethic to it and you saw me walking out here. I’ve been on that field back there. I’m healthy. I’m getting close. But I’ll be ready when it matters.”

105.3 The Fan's Mike Fisher reported recently that the quarterback 'should be a full participant in offseason work,' as he continues to rehabilitate his injured ankle. And all of that rehab has been taking place at the team's headquarters in Frisco.
