The Dallas Cowboys may have surprised themselves with how the backup quarterback situation has played out so far this preseason. Quarterback Garrett Gilbert has been seemingly backing up Dak Prescott all preseason until recently. Cooper Rush is getting the first-team reps this week.
All preseason it seemed that Gilbert was settling into the number two spot after his surprisingly effective performance in his sole start in 2020 and his performances up to this point.
