Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will not participate in the Pro Bowl game for good reason.
Why did Dak Prescott miss the Pro Bowl?
Prescott will miss the Pro Bowl despite being selected to play in his fourth Pro Bowl.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers reported that Baker Mayfield would replace Prescott due to injury, but this is not true.
According to multiple reports, Prescott will miss the game for personal reasons, including the possible birth of his first child.

In November, it was announced that Prescott and his girlfriend Sarah Jane Ramos were pregnant with their first daughter.
“Of course, we all know what mom means to me, so I'm so excited just to be able to raise a little girl. I'm excited for every challenge. My daughter. “I know it's not easy, or being Prescott, but I'm looking forward to anything,” Prescott told the media about the announcement in November.
At the time, he said the baby girl was due in early March, so it would make sense for the quarterback to get ready for the baby's arrival in February.
