Cowboys Face Season Uncertainty After Multiple Key Injuries, Prescott Recovery

The Dallas Cowboys face significant challenges heading into the 2025 NFL season, marked by injuries and roster disruptions. Star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who had rebuilt his chemistry with quarterback Dak Prescott during joint practices, suffered a potential back injury after a collision with a referee during a preseason game, compounding concerns for the team. Quarterback Dak Prescott, recovering from a season-ending hamstring injury, is eager to play but will remain sidelined for the preseason opener as the Cowboys prioritize his full recovery under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer. The offense also suffered a setback with rookie running back Jaydon Blue sustaining an ankle injury, diminishing the already weak running game, which includes recently added Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders. Meanwhile, linebacker Micah Parsons' trade request adds to the turmoil, highlighting the internal instability facing the team. Despite Prescott's readiness and the addition of dynamic offensive talent, the Cowboys must overcome these hurdles to find consistency and success in the upcoming season.
