Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott said he is progressing in his recovery from his season-ending hamstring injury.

So much so, in fact, that Prescott said he would be able to suit up right now if needed.

"If I had to play a game today, I definitely could do that," Prescott said on Friday at the 35th annual Children's Cancer Fund gala. "It's about moving forward healthy to make sure I can play 17 times, 20 (games) -- whatever we get to when the time's right."

Signed to a four-year, $240 million contract extension in September that made him the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history in terms of annual average value, Prescott played just eight games before sustaining his season-ending injury.
