Trey Lance received some notable praise from Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy during the team's OTAs on Thursday.
The fourth-year quarterback is competing with Cooper Rush for the backup position after not seeing any action last season. And if the former first-round pick (No. 3 overall by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2021 NFL Draft) is impressive enough, maybe — just maybe — he gives the Cowboys an option as they continue to negotiate with starter Dak Prescott on a new contract.
McCarthy didn't provide any indication toward what would be a major, controversial decision.
