A case can be made for why the Cowboys should trade for another quarterback. There is a time and a place for it.
Sources say that the Dallas Cowboys quarterback will be out for six to eight weeks as he recovers from his thumb surgery.
The earliest return date is October 30 against the Chicago Bears, but it is more likely to be November 13 against the Green Bay Packers.
In the fourth quarter of the Cowboys' 19-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, quarterback Dak Prescott was injured when his hand hit the hand of an opposing player. The quarterback went to the sideline because he couldn't hold the ball.
"I was told it was much cleaner than it could have been," he said. He had the surgery after visiting with the hand specialist.
McCarthy said that he would have had the surgery if they had allowed it. He's wired like that.
Cooper Rush will be the starter for Sunday's game against Cincinnati as the Cowboys try to find a way to win without their quarterback. Although Rush won his first career start last year against the Minnesota Vikings, the Cowboys are 4-7 without him.
He completed 7 of 13 passes.
McCarthy said that the quarterback position is important and should not be overreacted to. We have to make sure we give the players the tools to win the game. Cooper knows our system inside and out, which is nice. We will not be in that position of trying not to do too much. Cooper allows us to continue playing.
The Cowboys will have to deal with an emotional challenge when they lose their leader. The Cowboys lost their first four games in 2020 because of a compound fracture and dislocation of their quarterback's ankle.
Tony Pollard said that being in the NFL is all part of the game. The injury rate is so high that we have to make up for it. Everyone has to keep doing what they are doing and just focus on their job.
McCarthy said the Cowboys are looking to add a third quarterback to the roster with Will Grier on the practice squad, and ready to assume the role of second quarterback. He has two starts in his career, both with the Carolina Panther.
