The team’s win over the Washington Commanders is arguably garnering less attention than its near-collapse and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-austin-seibert-culprit-blunder-vs-cowboys">its opponent’s mishaps</a>. One of the most popular brands in sports does not even seem to be a focal point anymore. Cooper Rush is not preoccupied with the outside chatter, however.</p><p>The veteran backup quarterback just wants to play and put the Cowboys in position to win more football games. His status for Thursday’s Thanksgiving face-off with the New York Giants (2-9) is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-cooper-rush-injury-report-giants-thanksgiving-clash">in some doubt</a> due to a knee injury. But Rush is acting like a man who expects to run onto the field in AT&amp;T Stadium this week after logging back-to-back <a href="https://twitter.com/SlaterNFL/status/1861550707377152501" rel="noopener">limited practice sessions</a>.</p><p>“Talked to Cowboys QB Cooper Rush today,” NFL Network’s Jane Slater reported on Tuesday. “He’s good to go for Thursday despite some knee soreness.” Many fans would prefer to get a larger sample size of former top-three draft pick Trey Lance, but the undrafted 31-year-old might be Dallas’ best chance at overcoming terribly bleak playoff odds.</p><h2><b>Cooper Rush, Cowboys try to keep things rolling</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Cooper-Rush-unloads-a-pass-vs.-Commanders.jpg"><figcaption>Peter Casey-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Rush threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns while completing a superb 75 percent of his passes in Northwest Stadium last Sunday. He continues to prove himself to be one of the most reliable fill-ins today. His availability for the upcoming Giants game should logically increase the likelihood that the Cowboys win in consecutive weeks for the first time in almost two months.</p><p>Is that an acceptable goal, though? The organization has been devastated by injuries and poor performances throughout the 2024-25 campaign. Although the schedule is fairly manageable the rest of the way (the only true distressing challenge comes in the form of the Philadelphia Eagles at the end of the year), sliding into the playoffs feels beyond improbable. There is a large portion of the fan base that would rather build for the future.</p><p>Rush does not necessarily fit in the Cowboys’ long-term vision. He does represent something they occasionally lack, though. The former Central Michigan star has grit to spare and is a fighter. Dallas is desperate for the burst of life he can help provide. Results may not be the organization’s top priority for much longer this season, but cultivating a positive atmosphere remains vitally important.</p><p>Rush can accomplish both by contributing to another Cowboys’ win <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-thanksgiving-history-record-stats-highlights-playing-on-holiday">on Turkey Day</a>. It sounds like he will be ready for action.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, that would become more difficult <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-cooper-rush-on-injury-report-after-dak-prescott-injury">if quarterback Cooper Rush was injured</a>.</p><p>Rush was limited on Monday <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1861177966530638179" rel="noopener">due to his knee injury</a>, via Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. He was among 16 players the Cowboys listed on their injury report.</p><p>However, it doesn’t appear as if Rush is facing a long-term ailment. Clearly he has some bumps and bruises. But head coach Mike McCarthy <a href="https://x.com/JCTSports/status/1861181580070273376" rel="noopener">isn’t expecting his knee injury</a> to keep him out of Dallas’ Thanksgiving matchup, via Josh Tolentino of Lone Star Live.</p><p>“He’s got some work to do,” McCarthy said. “But I think he’ll be fine.”</p><p>Rush is coming off his first win as an NFL starter, as the Cowboys defeated the Washington Commanders 34-26 in Week 12. The quarterback completed 24-of-32 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns. Both of Rush’s touchdown throws came in a hotly contested fourth quarter.</p><p>By winning that game, Rush has extended his leash on the Cowboys’ QB1 role. With Dak Prescott out for the season, it isn’t necessarily the most precarious leash. But it does give Rush an opportunity to prove what he can offer as a starting quarterback.</p><p>After his Week 12 performance, Rush is now completing 61.1 percent of his passes for 813 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions. Barring injury or another meltdown, he seems likely to hold off Trey Lance for the remainder of the season.</p><p>While the win moved Dallas to just 4-7 on the year, they don’t want to leave Thanksgiving empty handed. The Giants are one of their most storied rivals, and every game is personal.</p><p>Having Cooper Rush on the field at least gives the offense a sense of continuance. It still won’t reach the levels it did under Prescott. But Rush has at least proven he can lead the Cowboys to win. Of course, only if he’s healthy.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Giants, on the other hand, are also expected to have a backup take over the QB1 role on the team, with New York finally <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-new-york-benches-daniel-jones-week-12">deciding to bench the ineffective Daniel Jones</a> during the team’s Week 11 bye.</p><p>In other words, the Giants-Cowboys Week 13 NFL Thanksgiving Day meeting on Nov. 28 at AT&amp;T Stadium in Arlington, Texas will most likely feature an anti-Hall of Fame quarterback matchup of Tommy DeVito and Rush.

Cooper Rush landed on the injury report Thursday. Yes, the same Rush is slated to start on Monday against the visiting Houston Texans.</p><p>But how did the backup to Prescott land on the injury report? NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero provided details on X, formerly known as Twitter. Turns out Rush is dealing with a significant ailment above the chest. Rush <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1857180039462162545" rel="noopener">left practice with a neck injury</a>.</p><p>Pelissero added that Rush still fully participated in practice. With Prescott out following hamstring surgery, many across the league wondered if it was time to pivot to Trey Lance.</p><p>Cowboys ESPN reporter Todd Archer, however, <a href="https://x.com/toddarcher/status/1857179411965243797" rel="noopener">clarified the impact</a> of Rush’s neck ailment. Turns out Rush’s neck had bothered him the last few days. Head coach Mike McCarthy shared that Rush “dealt with a neck strain” after his first fumble on Sunday versus the Philadelphia Eagles. Archer added a reaction from Rush himself.</p><p>“Little neck thing, but we were good to go. We’re feeling great now,” Rush said via Archer. The QB added it only took him one minute to feel better after the strain.</p><p>Regardless, Rush’s neck injury became enough to cause panic for Cowboys fans.</p><h2><b>Will Cooper Rush become limited for the Cowboys? </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Cooper-Rush-loses-the-football-against-the-Eagles.jpg"><figcaption>Tim Heitman-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Rush’s injury likely won’t prevent him from putting the helmet and shoulder pads on. Fellow ESPN Cowboys insider Ed Werder reports Rush <a href="https://x.com/WerderEdNFL/status/1857180483957743827" rel="noopener">is expected to start</a> against the AFC South leaders.</p><p>The seventh-year QB must redeem himself fast if Dallas believes his neck is a nonissue. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-cooper-rush-statistical-ineptitude-eagles-2015">Rush delivered an uninspiring performance Sunday</a> in taking over for Prescott.</p><p>Philly bottled him up and held him to only 45 passing yards on 13-of-23 passing. The Eagles sacked him once and forced two fumbles. Rush finished with a lowly quarterback rating (QBR) of 16.4.</p><p>Lance eventually succeeded Rush to start the fourth quarter. The third-stringer didn’t fare much better by settling for just 21 passing yards as the Eagles walloped Dallas 34-6. Philadelphia handed the Cowboys their third lopsided home defeat this season after the New Orleans Saints and Detroit Lions.</p><p>Rush will face the NFL’s seventh-best pass rush in the Texans. But Houston’s 29 sacks tops every team in the AFC South. The Texans are also entering AT&amp;T Stadium seeking redemption for blowing a 16-point lead in their 26-23 loss to the Lions on Sunday night. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/texans-vs-cowboys-predictions-pick-odds-spread-for-nfl-week-11">Houston is a 7.5-point favorite</a> to beat the slumping Cowboys, who have lost four in a row and stand at 3-6 overall.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Cowboys are now four games back in the loss column of Philly, have a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-mike-mccarthy-hot-seat-label-media">coach on the hot seat</a>, and are currently embroiled in a quarterback controversy between two QB’s who probably shouldn’t be starting in the NFL.</p><p>To make matters worse, as he navigates life on the hot seat, Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has to field questions about who will be starting at QB for Dallas moving forward.</p><p>Per The Athletic’s Jon Machota, Mike McCarthy stated that Cooper Rush will <a href="https://x.com/jonmachota/status/1856085486265348602" rel="noopener">remain the starting quarterback</a> of the Dallas Cowboys heading into their Week 11 Lonestar State showdown with the Houston Texans.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-cooper-rush-statistical-ineptitude-eagles-2015">Rush looked totally overmatched against an Eagles defense</a> that has now held four of their last five opponents to under 250 yards passing, completing 13 of 23 passes for just 45 yards. Trey Lance entered the game at the start of the 4th quarter with Dallas already trailing 31-6. The former 3rd overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft completed 4 of his 6 attempts for 21 yards and an interception. He also ran the ball three times for 17 yards.</p><p>In nine appearances throughout his short career, Trey Lance has completed 60-of-108 attempts for 818 yards, throwing for 5 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. He’s also run the ball 57 times for 252 yards and a touchdown. Jerry Jones gave up a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/49ers-news-san-francisco-trades-trey-lance-to-cowboys" rel="noopener">4th round draft pick to acquire Lance</a> back in August 2023, so it would make sense if the Cowboys were eager to see what he could do in a starting role. However, it has been only two years since Cooper Rush went 4-1 while filling in for an injured Dak Prescott.</p><p>Even though Dallas held their own in those five starts Rush made during the opening month of the 2022 season, the career back-up was hardly the reason why they were winning games. The Central Michigan product completed just 58 percent of his passes, threw for only 191 yards per game, and tossed five touchdown passes. Meanwhile, the Cowboys defense gave up just 12 points per game in those four wins.</p><p>This year’s Cowboys defense may not be capable of such performances. Halfway through the season, Dallas is 31st in points per game and 26th in yards allowed. Even with the return of All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons, Dallas still gave up 34 points to their NFC East rival on Sunday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He did not help himself out on the ground, either, totaling two yards on two carries.</p><p>And to make matters even worse, the Eagles are a team that he himself used to play for. As was highlighted by Greg Auman of FOX Sports, <a href="https://x.com/gregauman/status/1855794556253442464" rel="noopener">no NFL quarterback</a> has averaged less than two yards per pass on 20 attempts or more since Peyton Manning did it  (35/20) back in 2015. That same phenomenon happened twice from Dallas’ Anthony Wright in 2000 before Manning hit that undesirable mark.</p><p>But, aside from that, the 30-year-old Rush has closed a gap that no one else has closed in three decades.</p><p>Based on this alone, it does not look good as the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-dallas-plotting-unique-cooper-rush-trey-lance-game-plan-eagles-contest">Cowboys try to move forward</a> in the season with starting quarterback Dak Prescott sidelined for the rest of the season with a gruesome leg injury. Dallas called upon third-string quarterback Trey Lance, formerly a highly-touted NFL Draft prospect, to take the place of Rush in the third quarter.</p><p>There were just three minutes remaining in the game to that point with the Cowboys trailing the Eagles, 28-6 when the switch was made. But it wasn’t long after that the team inserted rush once more in a move that baffled many.</p><p>The Cowboys will look to get things back on track as they now ride a four-game losing streak, facing the Houston Texans up next on the schedule in an all-Texas showdown. The two teams are set to kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on Monday, Nov. 18 in AT&amp;T Stadium.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Lance hasn’t had much of an opportunity to succeed in the NFL after his job with the San Francisco 49ers was snatched away by Brock Purdy, so who knows, maybe he could flourish with the Cowboys if he’s given the opportunity to do so.</p><p>For the most part, it seems like Rush will be the main guy under center for Dallas, but don’t be surprised if Lance ends up taking the field for a couple of plays along the way. The Cowboys are going to need a lot of things to pan out for them if they intend on beating the Eagles, and maybe this quarterback deception could be what they need to give their division rival a run for their money.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dak-prescott-injury-puts-final-nail-cowboys-playoff-coffin">Dak Prescott out for the next few weeks</a> because of a hamstring injury, Cooper Rush will start at quarterback for the Cowboys. Even though it may be a different quarterback, Eagles’ defensive coordinator Vic Fangio <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/vic-fangio-i-dont-think-cowboys-will-change-much-with-cooper-rush" rel="noopener">doesn’t expect much different</a> from Rush.</p><p>“I don’t think it will change a whole lot,” Fangio said.  “You know, Rush has been there a long time. He knows the offense as well as anybody there does and he’ll operate it efficiently.”</p><p>The Eagles will also have a leg up on the Cowboys, as offensive coordinator Kellen Moore spent four seasons with Rush in  Dallas, one as his quarterback coach and the other three as his offensive coordinator.</p><p>“Coop is a really smart player,” Moore said. “He has a great feel for the game. Anticipation. Vision. Feel for what the defense is doing. I think he puts himself in a really good position. He can handle volume from an offensive game plan perspective. When Coop has gone in there, he’s had success. It’ll still be a challenge for us.”</p><h2>Eagles prepared to face Cowboys with no Dak Prescott</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Dak-Prescott.jpg"><figcaption>Brett Davis-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Cowboys have not had the best season so far, and it’s safe to say if they don’t win this game against the Eagles, their season is over. For the Eagles, they want to continue to win, especially divisional games, as they try to keep up with the Washington Commanders.</p><p>Dak Prescott is set to miss at least the next four games after being put on IR because of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-dak-prescott-knocked-out-falcons-hamstring-injury">hamstring injury he suffered</a> against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9. Cooper Rush came in the game for Prescott and threw a touchdown, but it wasn’t enough for them to get the win. In 30 appearances, Rush has completed 60 percent of his attempts for nine touchdowns and three interceptions. It will be a long next four weeks for the Cowboys’ offense if Rush can’t get players like CeeDee Lamb involved, as well as the other receivers.</p><p>The Eagles will definitely benefit from this, and with them having someone like Kellen Moore, who has worked with Rush, they should know all the insides and outs about his tendencies, as well as what the Cowboys like to do on offense.

With Prescott missing multiple weeks due to a thumb injury, Rush stepped up and put together a 4-1-0 quarterback record. Although Prescott is healthy again and expected to start right from the get-go of the new season, Rush is someone who continues to impress, even <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/cowboys/2023/08/08/cowboys-owner-jerry-jones-pleased-with-cooper-rush-excited-to-see-mazi-smith-in-preseason/" rel="noopener">catching the attention</a> of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.</p><p><i>“Really pleased with how 10 is playing,”</i> Jones said about Rush, per Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News. <i> “Really pleased with how he’s doing. I’m not going to say taken up, but he’s shown up in a way that reflects and embellishes how well he played for the team last year.”</i></p><p>Cooper’s outstanding job at keeping the Cowboys’ heads above water during the absence of Dak Prescott played a big role in his earning a two-year, $5 million contract with the Cowboys last March.</p><p>In nine games, including five starts, for the Cowboys last year, Rush passed for 1,051 yards and five touchdowns with three interceptions, while completing 58.0 percent of his throws. Those aren’t eye-popping numbers, but he was a steady presence in the pocket for Dallas, which averaged 26.8 points per game and 354.8 total yards per contest, fourth and 10th in the NFL, respectively, last season.</p><p>Jones and Cowboys fans can get to see more of Rush in the preseason, with Dak Prescott <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-dak-prescott-gets-brutally-honest-on-trevon-diggs-incident" rel="noopener">unlikely to be used</a> in any of the upcoming games against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Seattle Seahawks, and Las Vegas Raiders.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Spending the first half of his rookie season on the practice squad, the Central Michigan product was elevated to the active roster in November. Though seldom used, he served as the team’s backup quarterback for the remainder of the season.</p><p>In 2018, Rush returned to the practice squad before being promoted to the active roster for the final three games of the season. Rush was then released by the Cowboys at the end of the 2019 preseason, before being re-signed to the team’s practice squad later in the season.</p><p>An accurate quarterback praised for his decision-making and football IQ, Rush’s most notable season was in 2022, when he won four straight games for the Cowboys after Prescott suffered a significant thumb injury. He went 4-1 in Prescott’s absence, throwing for 1,020 yards in six games (including the Week 1 game that Prescott suffered the injury in). He also threw for five touchdowns while recording a 58.7 quarterback rating for the season.</p><p>Aside from Prescott and Rush, 27-year-old quarterback Will Grier is the only other quarterback currently only the Cowboys’ roster. However, drafted in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Grier is a dual-threat quarterback that should battle with Rush in training camp for the backup quarterback role.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
