The Cowboys just can’t seem to catch a break. In the first game of the 2022 NFL season, star quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a thumb injury that will keep him off the gridiron for weeks.Dallas will now give the reins to Cooper Rush.

Rush joined the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent out of Central Michigan in 2017, yet he has only one start to date . Therefore, many expected the team to go after Jimmy Garoppolo or another renowned quarterback.

However, it looks like the Cowboys will try their luck with the relatively inexperienced signal-caller, who has been with the team for a long time but only made 10 appearances, most of them coming late in the fourth quarter.
