FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys have settled on Cooper Rush as quarterback Dak Prescott's backup, at least for now.
As the Cowboys get to the 53-player roster limit on Tuesday, they released Garrett Gilbert, who started three of their four preseason games, and Ben DiNucci, a seventh-round pick in 2020.
Rush returns to the spot he held from the 2017-19 seasons.
"I just think he's shown that he can run the complete offense," owner and general manager Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.
