Fortunately for Prescott, many are now saying the injury should not be career ending.
Seeing Dak Prescott’s ankle dislocation in the video brought back memories of a similarly gruesome leg injury in the NFL decades ago. That was when quarterback Joe Theisman’s leg was broken by Lawrence Taylor. Theisman never played again.
But there is a key difference between Prescott’s injury and Theisman’s.
We have both the Theisman video and the Prescott video below for comparison.
For Joe Theisman, there was a clean break of the leg just above the ankle. Instead, Dak Prescott’s injury is actually an ankle dislocation accompanied by a compound fracture.
Fortunately, for Dak, a number of athletes have come back after suffering similar injuries. These include athletes like Celtics forward Gordon Hayward, and NFL running back LeSean McCoy – to name just a few.
Prescott underwent surgery on his right ankle on Sunday night. While it’s way to early to tell how long his recovery will be, it is surely the end of this season for the NFL veteran quarterback.
It will undoubtedly be a long road of rehabilitation for Prescott, but most experts agree that Dak should be able to return to the NFL.
Financially, Dak is in great shape for the remainder of 2020. Because he was playing on the franchise tag, Prescott is guaranteed $31.4 million. Money he will still receive even after being placed on injured reserve for the rest of the season.
