Gilbert or Rush? The jury’s still out.
Gilbert has taken all of the first-team snaps in practice since Prescott has been out, but McCarthy said the coaches wanted to even out the snaps on Saturday. On his second snap, Gilbert was tripped as he backed away from the center. On his third snap, he was sacked and lost a fumble that the Texans turned into a touchdown.
“Obviously wasn’t his best night,” McCarthy said.
Rush, who served as Prescott’s backup from 2017 to 2019 but attempted only three passes, threw touchdown passes of eight yards to Tony Pollard and nine yards to Cedrick Wilson.
