The Dallas Cowboys are now without Dak Prescott for several weeks, leaving a glaring hole at the quarterback position for the second time in two seasons.

Prescott missed most of the 2020 season with a gruesome ankle injury and was sidelined from training camp last season with a shoulder issue. Now, the Cowboys face several more weeks without their starting quarterback who led them to the playoffs last season.

Dallas does not have the best options behind him, but the backups who are presently on the Cowboys’ roster have some experience.

Cooper Rush was QB2 to start the regular season and entered the game for Prescott when the quarterback went down. Against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Rush was 7-for-13 with 64 passing yards and two sacks.

Rush is in his fifth season with the Cowboys after he signed as an undrafted free agent from Central Michigan. He started one game last season and helped the Cowboys to a win over the Minnesota Vikings. Rush was 24-for-40 with 325 passing yards, two touchdown passes and an interception.

He had 422 passing yards and three touchdown passes in the five appearances he made.
