Dallas is 3-5 for the season going into their Sunday, November 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n<p>Cowboys owner Jerry Jones did his weekly stint on his 105.3 The Fan radio show this week, and he talked about which quarterbacks the Cowboys might utilize in Prescott\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys are putting Prescott on injured reserve, so he\u2019ll miss the next four games at the very least.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Jerry Jones Talks Dak Prescott Replacement Options<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re talking about an extended period of time here,\u201d Jones said, regarding Prescott\u2019s hamstring injury that he suffered during the team\u2019s November 3 game against the Falcons.<\/p>\n<p>Without Prescott, the Cowboys\u2019 No. 2 quarterback is Cooper Rush. But, they also have a No. 3 quarterback in Trey Lance. The Cowboys traded for Lance last year but he hasn\u2019t passed Rush as their No. 2 guy.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if Lance could step in and serve as Dallas\u2019 quarterback during this interim time, Jones sounded confident in Lance getting some time on the field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s don\u2019t just dismiss anything,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not impossible for us to incorporate some of the skills of both quarterbacks. There are things we can do with (Lance) that can give our offense a punch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cOh, there is a window for Trey Lance. There\u2019s packages that we can work on. And, yes, there is a window for Trey.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cooper Rush is Ready for the Challenge of the Philadelphia Eagles<\/h2>\n<p>Lance could get some play time, but Rush will be starting in the team\u2019s game against the Eagles on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the press on Thursday, November 7, Rush talked about his mindset going into the game against Philadelphia, which will be at home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean we\u2019re just trying to beat Philly,\u201d Rush said. \u201cThat\u2019s kind of our approach this week. Got to take them one at a time. It\u2019s a clich\u00e9 but it works. And so that\u2019s kind of the goal and you\u2019re really just taking it practice by practice, game by game and we\u2019ll see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rush also talked about his longtime experience as a quarterback. Sure, he\u2019s never been Prescott, and he knows that he\u2019ll never be the Cowboys\u2019 franchise quarterback. But, Rush brings a lot of experience to the table. At 30 years old, Rush has been with the NFL since 2017. He played at Central Michigan from 2012 to 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou play a ton of ball in college, it\u2019s stuff you\u2019ve been doing your whole life, trust who you are and the system is the system,\u201d Rush said. \u201cYou do what you\u2019re supposed to do. You do what you\u2019re coached to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cThe more games you play, the more reps you bank, you put in your library, you draw on those. So, [I] feel confident in that. Been around here for a while. Played with a lot of these guys before, which is huge when you\u2019re out there with live bullets, trusting those guys. Being out there with them is big.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anne Erickson Anne Erickson is an award-winning reporter covering the NFL and college football for Heavy.com.
