Rush was estimated as limited Monday and Tuesday due to a knee injury, but his ability to handle a full session Wednesday has paved the way for him to continue to lead the Cowboys offense Week 13. While he won’t have TE Jake Ferguson (concussion) for a second consecutive contest Thursday, Rush will have top WRs CeeDee Lamb (back/foot) and Brandin Cooks (knee) — the later of whom was activated from injured reserve Wednesday — available to him.

Another Dak Prescott injury landed Rush under center again in 2022, and the 29-year-old Central Michigan product won four straight starts before falling to the Eagles in Week 6. His efficiency took a step back, however, and those victories owed more to Dan Quinn’s defense than Rush’s arm. With coordinator Kellen Moore leaving to take over the Chargers offense, Rush’s knowledge of Moore’s scheme no longer is a plus, and he could face a stiff challenge for the No. 2 quarterback job in training camp from the more athletically gifted Will Grier, a third-round pick of the Panthers in 2019, and Trey Lance, for whom the Cowboys traded in late August.
Rush claimed the No. 2 job behind Dak Prescott in camp last year and made himself a fan favorite Week 8 by leading the Cowboys to a win at Minnesota in his only start of the season. The 28-year-old doesn’t offer much in the way of arm strength or athleticism, but he knows the scheme and makes good decisions. He again is positioned for the backup role in 2022, but he might have to fend off Will Grier to hang onto it.
Rush has thrown a combined three passes over his first two seasons in the league, but he was nonetheless given a vote of confidence as the primary backup in 2018, and there’s little to suggest that will change in the upcoming season. He’ll have to hold off Mike White in the preseason, though White did not see a single snap of action in his 2018 rookie campaign. Even if Rush gets an opportunity, the uncertainty limits his fantasy viability, even in dynasty and deeper 2-QB leagues.
Rush saw brief action in two games last year after replacing Kellen Moore as Dak Prescott’s backup. He’ll face competition for the job from fifth round pick Mike White, but Rush’s experience in the Cowboys’ system could give him a slight edge.
Rush will attempt to follow in the footsteps of Tony Romo as one of the rare undrafted free agent quarterbacks to succeed in the NFL. With a similar profile to current Cowboys backup Kellen Moore, Rush makes up for what he lacks in arm strength with football IQ. Nonetheless, Rush requires time on the practice squad to re-shape his body and improve his throwing mechanics.

ANALYSIS
Rush’s job security was presumably hanging by a thread heading into Monday’s loss to the Texans after he threw for only 45 yards in a loss to the Eagles in Week 10, but the veteran signal-caller finished the game with 354 passing yards, a touchdown and an interception. While that elevated yardage figure is fairly deceptive considering Dallas mustered only 10 points in the 24-point loss, Rush’s overall body of work was apparently enough to persuade McCarthy to give him an opportunity against an improving Commanders defense in Sunday’s road matchup.
