Cowboys Face Eagles Without Dak Prescott

The Dallas Cowboys are facing the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday as extreme underdogs, with backup quarterback Cooper Rush set to start in place of the injured Dak Prescott, who has a partially torn hamstring. Jerry Jones indicated that there are plans to utilize Trey Lance in specific packages, suggesting the possibility of him playing a role in the game, similar to how the Saints have used Taysom Hill. Lance expressed confidence in his ability to run the offense, stating he feels prepared and would welcome the opportunity to play if called upon. Despite being third on the depth chart, Lance is eager for a chance after being acquired from the 49ers. The Cowboys' season hangs in the balance, as a loss would drop their record to 3-6 and severely impact their playoff hopes. The coaching staff's decision on how to handle the quarterback situation remains critical as they approach this pivotal matchup.
