But for one player on the Cowboys&#8217; roster, it could mean everything.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_n9u90vvj2\">NFL Network&#8217;s Ian Rapoport reported Friday, citing sources, that quarterback Trey Lance is expected to see &#8220;significant&#8221; run under center in the regular-season finale.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_oka43olt3\">&#8220;I&#8217;m told expect Trey Lance, their third-string quarterback for most of the season, to get some real reps, to get significant reps in this game,&#8221; Rapoport said. &#8220;Cooper Rush may still start, but Trey Lance is expected to get some reps. For Cowboys fans, there&#8217;s a lot they can learn from this game, including what is Trey Lance actually like when he plays?

He earned the starting role over Jimmy Garoppolo in San Francisco out of training camp in 2022 but suffered a season-ending injury in Week 2. By the time he was healthy, Brock Purdy had taken over the full-time starting role and was crowned the franchise quarterback.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_utruqmjao\">The 49ers flipped Lance to the Cowboys in exchange for a fourth-round pick before the 2023 season.
