Trey Lance was supposed to be an option for the future with the Dallas Cowboys in case Dak Prescott wasn’t available. Now, after the star quarterback suffered a severe hamstring injury, the former player of the 49ers wants a chance.

It’s a very delicate situation for head coach Mike McCarthy considering the Cowboys’ season is on the line next Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Another loss and falling to a 3-6 record is the end of the road.

That’s why, to keep alive Dallas’ chances of a Super Bowl, one of the biggest stories in the NFL is who will replace Prescott this week and probably the rest of the way.

Who will be the Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback?

At least for the game with the Eagles, Cooper Rush is the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, but, if he has a slow start, Mike McCarthy could do with Trey Lance.

Jerry Jones already hinted both could be used and this was Lance’s answer to that possibility. Of course, the final word is for the coaching staff, but, at least with the Cowboys, the owner has different leverage.

“Let’s talk to the coaching staff about that (laughs). I would love the opportunity to get on the field any way I can if that what’s the coaches think it’s for the best. I’m highly confident to run this offense. I’m in a real good spot with a full year under my belt.”
