Early in training camp, Prescott suffered a shoulder strain. He immediately had an MRI that revealed the muscle strain but said he "didn't see this as any kind of serious setback."
Prescott, the 2016 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, is coming back from a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle that ended his 2020 season in Week 5. Prescott signed a $160 million, four-year contract in March.

But something like this you can’t stress it too fast. It’s just the risk versus the reward at this point, and I’ve got to know what I’m playing for, and that’s to be ready for this season."
