The Cowboys’ confidence in Cooper Rush appeared to be short-lived.
Rush discovered himself watching from the sidelines with 2:56 left within the third quarter and didn’t come again into the sport within the Cowboys’ 34-6 loss to the Eagles.
Nothing appeared to be going Dallas’ approach on Sunday towards their divisional rival and Rush had gone 13-for-23 by way of the air for simply 45 yards and fumbled twice earlier than head coach Mike McCarthy turned to Trey Lance.
Lance completed the sport finishing 4 passes for 21 yards and throwing one interception within the lopsided loss.
The hassle isn’t precisely what the Cowboys had hoped to see with starter Dak Prescott staring down the chance of season-ending surgical procedure after struggling an damage the earlier week.
The Cowboys had spoken glowingly about Rush within the days main as much as the Week 10 matchup.
“He’s unflappable,” offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer instructed reporters, per ESPN. “I mean he’s very calm. It’s hard to tell whether he’s playing great, we’re playing great. I think that’s a sign of a really, really good quarterback. He doesn’t give highs and lows. He’s like these professional golfers that you see and you don’t know if shot 8 under or 8 over. I think that speaks to his experience.”
However the Eagles protection appeared to be an excessive amount of of a hump to recover from for Rush or the Cowboys offense.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter had beforehand reported that Prescott would have surgical procedure that may finish his 2024 season with a view to repair {a partially} torn hamstring, nonetheless, he was going to have yet another specialist check out it.
NFL Community insider Ian Rapoport reported on Sunday morning that Prescott had been “hoping to avoid surgery,” however he has already acquired a number of opinions and “none have been good.”
“My understanding, this is something I reported with Tom Pelissero yesterday, is that the likely option for Dak Prescott is surgery and this would, of course, knock him out for the season,” Rapoport mentioned. “A firm and final answer coming tomorrow, but it does not look great for Dak Prescott.”
The Cowboys face the Texans on “Monday Night Football” in Week 11.
