After shedding to the Atlanta Falcons on the highway at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys are sitting at 3-5 on the season, shedding three straight video games to groups that might be headed to the NFL playoffs.
Dallas has misplaced to the Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers and Falcons in three consecutive weeks, with the Cowboys wanting like they’ve spiraled uncontrolled with little hope of being postseason-bound on the finish of the common season.
Together with shedding three straight video games and being two video games underneath .500, the Cowboys might have misplaced star quarterback Dak Prescott for a while resulting from a hamstring damage he suffered within the loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
With hamstring accidents being tough, it stays to be seen how a lot time Prescott will miss, if any, but when it have been as much as Skip Bayless, he’d put backup Cooper Rush on the market in Week 10 in opposition to the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles no matter whether or not Prescott is wholesome or not.
“I say that subsequent Sunday in opposition to the Philadelphia Eagles at Jerry World, Cooper Rush provides my Dallas Cowboys a greater likelihood than Dak Prescott would,” Bayless stated.

With Bayless being identified to make daring sizzling takes, and more often than not for the sake of constructing waves, this appears just a little ridiculous, contemplating how a lot the Cowboys are paying Prescott to be their beginning quarterback.
Nevertheless, although Prescott solely had six incompletions on Sunday, the veteran quarterback didn’t do a lot to place the Cowboys in a spot the place they might come out on high on this recreation, as he threw for less than 133 yards and a landing earlier than taking place with the hamstring damage.
It’ll be attention-grabbing to see what the Cowboys do from right here on out if Prescott is injured and whether or not Rush may give this struggling offense a lift if given the nod in Week 10 in opposition to the Eagles.
