Preseason games a time to shine for Dak Prescott's backups

OXNARD, Calif. -- For Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, Saturday's preseason opener against the San Francisco 49ers means little.

He might play and he might not. He took only 10 snaps in the first preseason game in 2018 against the Niners. Maybe you remember the 30-yard touchdown pass to Michael Gallup. Maybe you don't.

But for Cooper Rush and Mike White, who are battling to be Prescott's backup, Saturday's game (9 p.m. ET, NFL Network) means a lot.
