Cooper Rush’s eighth career start filling in for Dak Prescott as quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys will be his first trying to bounce back immediately from a poor performance in a loss.

The Dallas Cowboys, 3-7 and losers of five in a row, are sticking with the status quo at quarterback with Dak Prescott sidelined after undergoing surgery on his hamstring. Head coach Mike McCarthy named eight-year veteran backup Cooper Rush the Cowboys' starting quarterback in Week 12 when they visit former defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and his 7-4 Washington Commanders.

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones was recently asked on 105.3 The Fan about the return on the investment in trading for Trey Lance.

Cooper Rush has delivered two straight underwhelming showings as the Cowboys starting QB, leading to some calls for Trey Lance to take over.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy raised some eyebrows earlier in the week when he revealed that even though Cooper Rush would remain the starting quarterback for the team, Trey Lance would be seeing playing time in certain packages in Week 12 against the Washington Commanders.
