"After being limited to eight games in 2024, has rebounded nicely through the first half of the 2025 campaign. The 32-year-old quarterback currently sports a career-high 70.3-percent completion percentage and is showing no signs of slowing down. Thanks to his continued production, the Cowboys signal caller is confident he can spend close to another decade in the NFL. "Forties would be a good number," Prescott estimated when asked about a potential retirement age ( via ESPN's Todd Archer). "I've been through some injuries; played very physical in college so if I can get to 40 playing at the standard that I want, that would be awesome.""
"Prescott has indeed dealt with his fair share of injuries through his first 10 years in the NFL. He was limited to only five games in 2020 after suffering a fractured ankle, and he missed another five contests in 2022 thanks to a thumb injury. A hamstring tear in 2024 represented the third major injury of his career."
"He finished second in Comeback Player of the Year voting in 2021, tossing a career-high 37 touchdowns while guiding Dallas to 11 wins. His 2022 campaign was arguably the best of his career, as he paced the NFL with 36 touchdowns while finishing second in MVP voting. While the Cowboys' defense is to blame for the team's struggles in 2025, Prescott currently has the highest QBR of his career."
Prescott rebounded from a 2024 hamstring tear and produced strong results through the first half of 2025, posting a career-high 70.3% completion percentage. The 32-year-old quarterback overcame significant injuries earlier in his career, including a fractured ankle in 2020 and a thumb injury in 2022, and returned to elite production with 37 touchdowns in 2021 and 36 touchdowns in 2022. He expresses confidence in playing into his 40s if he can maintain health and performance. Team defensive shortcomings have limited overall success in 2025, but Prescott currently holds the highest QBR of his career. Other recent quarterbacks have played past age 40, providing a precedent for extended careers at the position.
