Dalton Schultz needs Dak Prescott back more than anybody

The majority of people connected to the Dallas Cowboys, either professionally or by fandom, are thrilled to know that QB Dak Prescott is returning for Sunday’s bout with the Detroit Lions. But perhaps no individual should be more excited than TE Dalton Schultz, whose 2022 season has yet to even get off the ground.

In four games so far this year, Schultz has amassed just nine catches for 80 yards. That’s the lowest per-game production for the tight end, playing right now on the franchise tag, that he’s had since he was buried behind Jason Witten, Geoff Swaim, and Blake Jarwin during his first two seasons.
