Cooper Rush has moved past Kellen Moore on the Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback depth chart.
Rush will serve as Dak Prescott’s backup today against the San Francisco 49ers. It’s the first time Rush has been active on game day.
Rush, an undrafted rookie out of Central Michigan, won a spot on the 53-man roster after an impressive training camp and preseason.
Rush completed 38-of-51 passes for 398 yards and six touchdowns with no interceptions in the preseason. He had a 135.9 passer rating, the best of any quarterback in the preseason.
But the Cowboys opted to go with the more experienced Moore as the backup for the first five games.
