COOPER RUSH NEWS

Will start against Philadelphia With Dak Prescott (hamstring) sidelined, coach Mike McCarthy announced Monday that Rush will start Week 10 against the Eagles next Sunday, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News re...

Impact "We have great confidence in Cooper," McCarthy said. Rush has been Prescott's backup all season, but it was unclear if Dallas would start Rush or turn to Trey Lance. In relief of Prescott on Sunday against the Falcons, Rush completed 13 of 25 passes (52 percent) for 115 yards and one touchdown, averaging a minuscule 4.6 yards per attempt. Rush won't be a recommended fantasy starter outside of deeper two-quarterback formats.

Impact Prescott left at the end of the third quarter, leaving Rush to try and mount a comeback from a 27-13 deficit. The Cowboys' No. 2 QB managed to produce points inside the final two minutes of the fourth quarter on his third and final drive, hitting Jalen Tolbert for a four-yard TD and then CeeDee Lamb for a two-point conversion, but Dallas couldn't recover the subsequent onside kick. Prescott is headed for an MRI on Monday, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com, and if he's ruled out for a Week 10 tilt against the Eagles, Rush would likely get the start, with Trey Lance backing him up.

Cowboys' Dak Prescott knocked out of game at Atlanta with hamstring injury

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has suffered a hamstring injury and has left Sunday's game at Atlanta.

NOVEMBER 3

Sees work in relief Rush completed eight of 11 passes for 46 yards with an interception in Sunday's loss to the Lions.

Impact Dak Prescott got most of the fourth quarter off in a blowout loss, allowing Rush to see his most extensive action of the season so far. The 30-year-old continues to be active ahead of Trey Lance as the Cowboys' No. 2 QB, and Rush would presumably be the pick to move into the starting lineup should anything happen to Prescott.

SEPTEMBER 2 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Set as No. 2 QB Rush will open the season as the primary backup to Dak Prescott for the Cowboys.

Impact Trey Lance also made the 53-man roster, but his five-interception performance in the team's final preseason game ended any thought that he could bump Rush aside for the No. 2 job. Rush has been a reliable backup the last three seasons, seeing action in 21 games and completing 60.9 percent of his passes with a 6.9 YPA and an 8:5 TD:INT. Given that Prescott doesn't yet have a contract extension however, should he suffer a serious injury and the season go off the rails, it might be Lance and not Rush who fills in as the Cowboys evaluate their options for 2025 and beyond.

Sees little action as backup Rush completed 18 of 24 passes for 144 yards and an interception over seven regular-season games in 2023.

Impact While the Cowboys' penchant for early-season blowouts gave Rush plenty of garbage-time opportunities, the 30-year-old quarterback didn't get a start as Dak Prescott stayed healthy all year. Rush is under contract for one more season at a modest $2.25 million, and while his familiarity with the offense should ensure he returns to Dallas in 2024, he could face a challenge for the No. 2 role from Trey Lance.
