When Prescott was forced to leave during the team\u2019s Week 9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, Cooper Rush took all of the remaining snaps at quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>The expectation is that Rush will start at quarterback while Prescott is sidelined. Yet, former Cowboys scout Bryan Broaddus is pushing the team to play Trey Lance over Rush while Prescott is out. The Cowboys face an uphill battle to turn around this season, and Broaddus makes an argument for the team to see what the franchise has in Lance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know out there everybody\u2019s going, \u2018Ah damn it, Bryan. You\u2019re giving up.\u2019 Well, I just don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to get better folks,\u201d Broaddus explained during a November 3, 2024, interview with Bleacher Report\u2019s Voch Lombardi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really, really don\u2019t, and I\u2019m trying to do something differently on offense maybe while Dak is out to kind of give my offense a little bit of a spark with some mobility. Maybe some read option stuff. Maybe make people have to prepare for you a little different.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>The Cowboys Face a Decision on Trey Lance\u2019s Future as QB Hits Free Agency in 2025<\/h2>\n<p>Broaddus\u2019 point hinges on two key factors as the Cowboys coaching staff and front office considers various options in the coming days. The longtime scout does not see Rush providing much of a spark, especially given the offense was already struggling with Prescott.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, the Cowboys gave up a fourth-round pick to acquire Lance. The quarterback is in the final few months of a four-year, $34.1 million rookie contract. Dallas already knows that Rush is a capable backup quarterback, but Lance is much more of a question mark.<\/p>\n<p>If indeed Dallas is building towards the future, it could make sense to give Lance an extended look with free agency in mind. Rush will also be a free agent, but the veteran is much more of a known commodity.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>The Cowboys May Place QB Dak Prescott on Injured Reserve &amp; the Star Would Miss at Least 4 Games<\/h2>\n<p>The early signs on Prescott\u2019s hamstring injury are not positive. NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport reported that Prescott\u2019s injury is worse than the team initially feared.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCowboys QB Dak Prescott\u2019s hamstring injury was worse than initially feared,\u201d Rapoport detailed in a November 4 message on X. \u201cHe is expected to miss multiple weeks, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. In fact, this is not looking like a short-term injury. Cooper Rush is the team\u2019s backup.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prescott\u2019s injury is so severe that the Cowboys are considering placing the quarterback on Injured Reserve. This would require Prescott to miss a minimum of four games while temporarily opening up a roster spot. This is why the team\u2019s decision at quarterback is important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot hearing great things surrounding Cowboys QB Dak Prescott\u2019s hamstring injury,\u201d Fort Worth Star-Telegram\u2019s Nick Harris posted on X on November 4. \u201cCeeDee Lamb\u2019s MRI on his shoulder came back more positive, but it sounds like Cooper Rush\/Trey Lance will be throwing to him for the foreseeable future. IR being discussed for Prescott, per source.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dallas Cowboys are being pushed to make a change at quarterback with Dak Prescott sidelined for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1411,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dallas-cowboys"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
