The Dallas Cowboys are preparing for quarterback Dak Prescott's likely move to injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. Coach Mike McCarthy has named Cooper Rush as the starting quarterback in Prescott's absence, despite Rush's mixed past performance.
With the team's current struggles, including a weak run game and defense, questions arise about why Trey Lance isn't starting instead. Lance, a former third overall pick, has shown potential but remains untested in a starting role with the Cowboys.
As the season progresses, McCarthy must weigh the benefits of starting Rush against the potential upside of giving Lance more playing time, especially in a year where many contracts are expiring.
