Rush is 4-0 as the starter since Dak Prescott broke a bone in his throwing thumb in the season opener. Prescott is not expected to be ready for the primetime NFC East showdown between the Cowboys (4-1) and Eagles (5-0).
"We are preparing for Cooper to start against the Eagles," Dallas coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday. "We've got to trust the medical process (with Prescott). It's a 17-game season. We've got to make sure he's right for the long haul, too."
Prescott's will-he-won't-he-play situation has created something of a controversy for Dallas, at least on talk radio and social media and whatever world Skip Bayless lives in.
