"Sitting out last year and the times before, you don't take getting to play this game for granted. You play every game to win. You play every game with a chance to go to the playoffs or play in the Super Bowl.

And I'm not going to ever pass it up."
"In 2020, he missed the final 11 games with a dislocation and fractured right ankle. A year ago at this time, Prescott was recovering from surgery to repair a hamstring avulsion. 'Those last few games I put down the crutches so just to even think about that, right, and think about that now I'm here and I'm feeling the best that I've had,' Prescott said, 'and I'm healthy and I get a chance to take the field with my brothers. I'm super excited for this opportunity.'"

Prescott emphasized that playing football is his job, he does not take on-field opportunities for granted, and he plays every game to win. He missed significant time in 2020 with a dislocated and fractured right ankle and spent last year recovering from surgery to repair a hamstring avulsion. Prescott reports feeling the healthiest he has been and is excited to take the field with teammates.
