What\u2019s worse for the Cowboys is that \u201cthis is not looking like a short-term injury,\u201d according to Rapoport.<\/p>\n<p>So, what are the Cowboys\u2019 replacement options while they\u2019re waiting for their quarterback, who is the\u00a0highest-paid player in the league, get better? Let\u2019s look at some in-house and outside options for Dallas.<\/p>\n<h2>In-House Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Options<\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-content entry-content\">\n<p>Cooper Rush, of course, is the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 backup quarterback and,\u00a0according to Rapoport, Rush is expected to start against the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, November 10.<\/p>\n<p>Rush entered the game on Sunday after Prescott left, and he\u00a0completed 13-of-25 passes for 115 yards with a touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>If the Cowboys don\u2019t want to go with Rush, for whatever reason, their third option is 2021 No. 3 overall pick\u00a0Trey Lance. He hasn\u2019t played a regular-season game since 2022.<\/p>\n<p>As for stats,\u00a0Rush counts 30 NFL games and six starts, a 60% completion rate, 6.5 yards per attempt, nine touchdowns, six interceptions, 81 passer rating and 35 rushing attempts for 11 yards.<\/p>\n<p>Prescott spoke to reporters\u00a0after Sunday\u2019s loss to the Falcons and said the feeling he had with this injury wasn\u2019t something he\u2019s ever \u201cfelt\u201d before. That\u2019s not something you want to hear from your franchise quarterback, especially since before the NFL season, Prescott reached a major contract extension worth up to\u00a0$240 million over four years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got to get it looked at,\u201d\u00a0Prescott said in a postgame press conference. \u201cI felt it on the third play, a little scramble to the left. Didn\u2019t think much of it, to be honest with you, and then on the next play \u2014 throwing the stop route \u2014 pulled something. It was something I\u2019d never felt. Tried to walk on it at that point, and then saw the medical team and asked if I could make it worse. At that point, they said I wouldn\u2019t be able to protect myself, and they made the call to pull me out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys have now dropped three games in a row to go to\u00a03-5\u00a0for the season. They could still make the playoffs, but it\u2019s looking difficult.<\/p>\n<h2>Going Outside the Dallas Cowboys<\/h2>\n<p>The Cowboys could also bring some fresh blood in to replace Prescott in the interim.<\/p>\n<p>As for who\u2019s available right now, free agent\u00a0Ryan Tannehill is often at the top of the list of names to call in a panicked quarterback situation. The former Texas A&amp;M player is a veteran at 36 and would be playing in his home state. He could be sitting at home, waiting for an opportunity like this.<\/p>\n<p>Another option is\u00a0Gardner Minshew\u00a0of the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders are in a rebuilding phase and\u00a0let go of their offensive coordinator Luke Getsy\u00a0following the team\u2019s loss to\u00a0Bengals on Sunday. The team will likely start regrouping their offense, and they might want to trade Minshew, which could lead to a quick spot with the Cowboys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is out with a hamstring injury, and here are some serious replacement options for the team.
