Cooper Rush to Start for Injured Prescott

News summary

With Dak Prescott sidelined due to a significant hamstring injury, the Dallas Cowboys are once again turning to backup quarterback Cooper Rush, who previously led the team to a 4-1 record during Prescott's absence last season. Rush's familiarity with the Cowboys' system and his calm demeanor have earned him the trust of teammates and coaches, including Hall of Famer Troy Aikman, who expressed confidence in Rush's abilities. As the Cowboys face a crucial matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, who have been on a four-game winning streak, Rush will need to navigate a struggling offensive line and a weak rushing game. Teammates like CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons have voiced their support for Rush, noting his steady performances against tough opponents. Head coach Mike McCarthy emphasized the need to rally around Rush and prepare him for the challenge ahead, likening him to former Pro Bowl quarterback Rich Gannon. The Cowboys, currently at a 3-5 record, face mounting pressure to revive their playoff hopes in the competitive NFC East.
