Speaking in comments originally reported by The Dallas Morning News, Schottenheimer addressed Prescott’s situation.

Brian Schottenheimer explains his approach to supporting players
Schottenheimer also outlined how he stays connected with players during the offseason.
“I try to talk to all the guys. I reach out to most of them. I actually got a plan. I’m a little bit, a little, I guess, obsessive, compulsive in that regard in trying to reach out to position groups to check in,” he continued.
“Some of them don’t really reach back out and that’s cool, too. I get it. Hey guys, I get it, you’re on vacation,” the Cowboys coach concluded.
The approach highlights his focus on communication and support beyond the field.
By maintaining contact, Schottenheimer ensures players feel supported during both professional and personal challenges.
In Prescott’s case, that connection appears to have played a key role. It reflects a broader team culture built on trust and consistency.
