It's not often that a team's third-string quarterback is a big story, even in the preseason. But Trey Lance is still a mystery.
And, given the uncertainty surrounding the Dallas Cowboys' quarterback situation after 2024, Lance could be an important mystery to solve.
Lance, the third pick of the 2021 NFL Draft who quickly fell out of favor with the San Francisco 49ers as Brock Purdy took over the starting job, will get plenty of reps this preseason. He was a featured part of the Cowboys' preseason opener Sunday at the Los Angeles Rams, with Dak Prescott and other Dallas starters taking a seat.
