Cowboys Doctor Reveals List of Players Facing Mental Health Issues After Team Counseling Session – Fans Shocked to See Their Favorite Star Included

Dallas, Texas – A revelation that stunned Cowboys Nation

After a private mental health and wellness session organized by the Dallas Cowboys’ medical department, team psychologist Dr. Michael Harrington has officially revealed a list of players currently struggling with mental and emotional challenges following weeks of high-pressure games and intense media scrutiny.

According to ESPN sources, the evaluation was part of a long-term plan to ensure that every player maintains a stable mental and emotional state throughout the season, preventing burnout, anxiety, or depression that could affect on-field performance.

The players currently receiving psychological support

The internal report (which leaked on social media early this morning) listed five players recommended for ongoing counseling and recovery:

• Dak Prescott (QB) – reportedly dealing with significant pressure from media and leadership expectations after recent inconsistent performances.

Fans react with shock and empathy

Once the report went viral, Cowboys fans flooded social media with messages of concern and support.
One fan wrote on X (Twitter):

“I never thought Dak or Parsons were going through something like this. We only see their strength on Sundays but forget they’re human too.”

Team owner Jerry Jones also shared his reaction in a brief press conference:

“I didn’t expect to see a list like that after the session. I’m honestly surprised, but what matters most is that they’re getting help. We’ll stand by our players, always.”

Doctor reassures fans: ‘This is not a weakness’

Dr. Harrington clarified that this revelation is not a sign of weakness, but rather “a part of comprehensive care for elite athletes.”

“Professional football players endure enormous mental and emotional pressure. Recognizing the problem is not a failure — it’s courage. These players are on the right path toward stability and growth.”

He confirmed that all players mentioned are undergoing positive recovery under close supervision of the team’s medical and psychological staff.

A new chapter for mental health in the NFL

This incident has sparked a wider conversation within the NFL community about mental wellness among athletes. The Dallas Cowboys are now being recognized as one of the few organizations proactively addressing mental health, highlighting that professional football isn’t just a physical game — it’s also a battle of the mind.
