The Dallas Cowboys (4-7) are coming off a massive win over the Washington Commanders (7-5) on Sunday. They’ll have a chance to get two wins in less than a week by taking on the New York Giants on Thursday Night.
Realistically, Dallas would need to catch Washington for the final wild card spot in the NFC if they wanted to make an improbable playoff run. Some news about Trey Lance is circulating just days before Dallas’ Thanksgiving matchup.
Cowboys’ Trey Lance News Going Viral Ahead Of Thanksgiving Matchup Vs Giants
A fourth-round NFL draft pick was given away to the Cowboys for 49ers quarterback Trey Lance in August 2023. Because he was the No. 3 pick in the 2021 draft, teams around the NFL were interested in him, despite his eight games for the 49ers in two seasons (and just four starts).
However, could he finally get his chance?
Cooper Rush does have a mysterious knee injury and was listed on the team’s injury report, but the expectation is that he still will play in the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving game against the Giants. But should he? In what has been a mostly lost season, it remains baffling that the Cowboys won’t put Lance on the field.
At Bleacher Report, in sizing up what the Cowboys ought to do heading into Week 13, there was no suggested signing or transaction: There was only Trey Lance.
Under a category titled, “Move to Make Now,” B/R wrote: “Allow Trey Lance to Start.”
That, despite Sunday’s win over the Commanders. “A divisional win is nice, but it’s not getting Dallas back into the playoff mix. Yet franchise owner Jerry Jones isn’t willing to give quarterback and 2023 trade acquisition Trey Lance a starting opportunity … ” B/R noted.
“Jones has made plenty of mistakes since the start of the offseason, and not starting Lance is another. The Cowboys surrendered a fourth-round pick to acquire the quarterback, and it would be wise to see if he can offer anything as a long-term depth player before he becomes a free agent in 2025.”
Here is a look at Lance’s career stats:
