The spotlight once again belongs to Cooper Rush after Dallas Cowboys star Dak Prescott suffered a hand injury in Sunday's season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Cowboys CEO Jerry Jones told reporters after the game that Prescott will be out "for a while" and is expected to miss several weeks because he requires surgery. Jones added that Rush will be the team's starter going forward.
"We’ll have to have Cooper [Rush] step up," Jones said. "He’ll get all the reps and we’ll go from there."
Rush threw for 64 yards on 7-of-13 passing after replacing Prescott against Tampa Bay.
