Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott did not participate in any of the team's three preseason games. Despite this, he enters the 2026 season with a strong receiving corps, including wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who has been with the team since 2020, and the newly acquired George Pickens, who joined during the 2025 offseason.

In the previous season, Prescott achieved the second-highest passing yard total of his career with 4,552 yards, alongside throwing 30 touchdowns, marking the fourth time he reached that milestone in his career. He completed a career-high 600 pass attempts, although the Cowboys may prefer to see that touchdown number decrease as they aim for a more balanced offensive strategy.

The introduction of a new defensive scheme under coordinator Christian Parker could also influence Prescott's performance, potentially reducing the frequency of situations where the offense needs to play catch-up. With a solid receiving duo at his disposal, Prescott has a strong chance of surpassing 4,000 passing yards again in the upcoming season.
