There’s a lot of weirdness surrounding ex-49ers QB Trey Lance’s final Cowboys game

It’s certainly been a unique NFL journey for Trey Lance, the former No. 3 overall pick for the 49ers turned third-stringer for the Cowboys. But ahead of Lance’s final game on his rookie deal, speculation has kicked into high gear that the 24-year-old may start his first game for Dallas on Sunday.

After being inactive for all of 2023 and most of 2024 as the third-stringer, Lance has been active but backing up Cooper Rush since Dak Prescott’s injury in Week 9. Still, even with the Cowboys missing the playoffs, Lance has only played in three games (two stints of garbage time snaps during blowout losses to the Eagles and a single designed run call against the Commanders).
