However, that would become more difficult\u00a0if quarterback Cooper Rush was injured.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aspect-video w-full\">\n<div class=\"not-prose flex aspect-video w-full items-center justify-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Rush was limited on Monday\u00a0due to his knee injury, via Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. He was among 16 players the Cowboys listed on their injury report.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,120193976\/AdThrive_Content_1\/5e90daf19f500876e949a3d9_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>However, it doesn&#8217;t appear as if Rush is facing a long-term ailment. Clearly he has some bumps and bruises. But head coach Mike McCarthy\u00a0isn&#8217;t expecting his knee inju<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JCTSports\/status\/1861181580070273376\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ry<\/a>\u00a0to keep him out of Dallas&#8217; Thanksgiving matchup, via Josh Tolentino of Lone Star Live.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe&#8217;s got some work to do,\u201d McCarthy said. \u201cBut I think he&#8217;ll be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rush is coming off his first win as an NFL starter, as the Cowboys defeated the Washington Commanders 34-26 in Week 12. The quarterback completed 24-of-32 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns. Both of Rush&#8217;s touchdown throws came in a hotly contested fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p>By winning that game, Rush has extended his leash on the Cowboys&#8217; QB1 role. With Dak Prescott out for the season, it isn&#8217;t necessarily the most precarious leash. But it does give Rush an opportunity to prove what he can offer as a starting quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>After his Week 12 performance, Rush is now completing 61.1 percent of his passes for 813 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions. Barring injury or another meltdown, he seems likely to hold off Trey Lance for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_2_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-2 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,120193976\/AdThrive_Content_2\/5e90daf19f500876e949a3d9_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>While the win moved Dallas to just 4-7 on the year, they don&#8217;t want to leave Thanksgiving empty handed. The Giants are one of their most storied rivals, and every game is personal.<\/p>\n<p>Having Cooper Rush on the field at least gives the offense a sense of continuance. It still won&#8217;t reach the levels it did under Prescott. But Rush has at least proven he can lead the Cowboys to win. Of course, only if he&#8217;s healthy.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush finds himself on the injury report ahead of the team&#8217;s Thanksgiving matchup.
