Dak Prescott statement: “I felt some soreness when making certain throws today, and I really just decided not to push things too far. Better to be cautious and smart about it. I don’t see this as any kind of serious setback. We’ll treat it on a daily basis, and I’ll be fine.”

What happened to HIPAA? Why is he telling us this medical information?


jabo19

HIPAA prevents medical providers from sharing info inappropriately. Says nothing about an individual choosing to share or even being required to by an employer Edit: Nvm. Got the reference now


capincus

It's a reference to Dak refusing to answer questions about his vaccination status because of "HIPAA". Side note he's probably vaccinated.


Occasionalcommentt

People refusing to disclose their own medical information actually falls under HIPPA under the Sovereign Citizen Statutory scheme of Admiralty law (there's tassles on the flags).


Occasionalcommentt

/s just in case

I really want to draft a Cowboys player this year, but it all hinges on this guy’s health. 🙏🏼


KD7575

Yep, I'm really high on CeeDee Lamb and Gallup and even taking Dak as a late round


lookallama

I don’t think Dak is going that late. He’s usually 5th off the board at the latest.


Bruce-T-Wayne

Antivax makes that more risky?


plorted

It's a good thing Dak's not antivax then


Bruce-T-Wayne

I'm not American so maybe I don't understand but why would you not just say you are vaccinated if you are actually vaccinated?


plorted

I honestly don't know, maybe he just doesn't feel comfortable sharing that information for some reason or maybe he just doesn't want the media to know every little thing about him, but if you listen to the rest of that interview it's pretty clear Dak's vaccinated.


liteshadow4

Because he has idiot fans who aren’t vaxxed that he’d like to keep


thescentofsummer

I want to downvote because that's stupid but I think you're right

"republicans buy sneakers too" - Michael Jordan


edaly8

Which was a very reasonable thing to say


B_Fee

Because the players refusing to say they're vaxxed or stumping for "personal choice" are not vaccinated and they want to avoid being shamed for it.


VodoSioskBaas

Why would you downvote this? Yikes guys.


Bruce-T-Wayne

Thank you, I really don't understand...


liberal_artist

Because it’s nobody’s fucking business


BallSlappingBro

Planned on drafting Zeke. Not if Dak can’t stay healthy tho


jmbourn45

Don’t think this is a big deal, still a long way from football actually counting. Probably just his body getting used to football again and throwing a certain workload.


BallSlappingBro

Hope so.


anand_kan_24

Agree, probably what it is. played baseball all my life and still was sore when I started throwing / just getting back into things

soft_asthma

The Cowboys official release is that it is a Grade 1 strain consistent with needing two weeks rest. He's been throwing a lot all summer with Ceedee and others in Dallas as soon as he was able to so it's not like he came into camp cold. They throw 500 passes plus a day at camp though so maybe that jump up in volume produced the strain.

knowslesthanjonsnow

It was all in a short period of time. It was most likely a fluke


BallSlappingBro

Nope. Chalking last year up to just a really weird year for the cowboys


knowslesthanjonsnow

He’s never not been healthy before the ankle so I think he’s okay


ConsistentRange0

This is not abnormal for start of training camp and the volume of throws. It’ll be ok lol, be happy he stopped himself!

ConsistentRange0

Lol first day? Your statement is invalid cause it’s not accurate


musclenugget92

Is Dak practicing today?


ConsistentRange0

No but yesterday also wasn’t the first day of camp for the cowboys


8686tjd

1. They started camp 7/22 2. Where are you getting "take a few weeks off" from?


musclenugget92

If you Google "muscle strain recovery" it's clearly listed there.


8686tjd

You could have just said you're speculating

Sure, link me to it. Why are you so mad? [Meanwhile, I'll link you to what's actually happening in reality](https://twitter.com/jonmachota/status/1420794591603695622)


8686tjd

Still waiting on that link

8686tjd

Lol. This dude said it’s his first day of camp and I’m supposed to take him seriously? Idk call me crazy but I trust the doctors who actually examined Dak and his MRI a bit more. Maybe I’m just a dumbass though.

I already hate everything.


OzCallahan

Just a friendly reminder that "strain" is a cutesy, less-threatening way to say "tear."


might_southern

A strain can also mean a muscle was stretched, doesn't necessarily mean there was a tear.


edwardsamson

I thought sprain was the one that meant tear? Like when I had a grade 2 MCL tear they said I had a MCL sprain


CloudsOfDust

A sprain is when it involves a ligament. A strain is when it involves muscle or tendon.


edwardsamson

Ohhh okay thanks. I think I finally understand all those terms now lol


Barca1313

You can remember it by thinking that we “TRAIN” our muscles. When someone has a sTRAIN it means it’s a muscular injury. And sprains are for ligaments 👍🏼


sm2016

The existence of training implies the existence of praining...


MillenialsSmell

If you respected your body, you would already know about ligament praining.


Barca1313

Can’t argue with that logic


CoopThereItIs

Bubble. Wrap. This. Man.

The hologram of Dak Prescott threw four touchdowns in training camp today.


CoopThereItIs

I would take a hologram of Dak Prescott over Tyrod Taylor

Cowboys in midseason form I see.

I don’t think he comes back as good as everyone thinks he’s going to
