Nooooooooooooooooo !!! Freak Out! was released before Sgt. Pepper. Paul McCartney even said in an interview that there would be no Sgt. Pepper without Freak Out!.

If you wanna take a somewhat looser definition of prog rock, possibly. Though even in that regard, I usually heard that accolade given to Freak Out! by Frank Zappa.

Sgt. Pepper was a countinous progression starting from Rubber Soul or maybe from the songs from Help for example "Ticket  To Ride" with it's drone and Ringo odd drum patterns in which you can hear later on "Rain" and "Tomorrow Never Knows". Or even the chamber type strings you hear on "Yesterday" later heard on "Eleanor Rigby" and "She's Leaving Home".
 
Freak Out is a fusion of American R&B vocal styles with influences from composers like Varesse. I don't think it is prog at all. Then we would be considering Bob Dylan "Like A Rolling Stone" progressive rock if we were counting long songs as prog.

But there would be no Pet Sounds without Rubber Soul and Brian Wilson admits to it.
