Rush has taken over starting quarterback duties for the Cowboys since Dak Prescott went down with a season-ending hamstring injury. Rush is 1–2 in his first three starts, having thrown three touchdowns and one interception in that span while completing 62.7% of his passes.

The Cowboys' quarterbacks are no strangers to injury this season. Will Cooper Rush's injury keep him from playing on Thanksgiving?

There is not much the Dallas Cowboys (4-7) can do to inspire genuine optimism at this time. The team’s win over the Washington Commanders is arguably garnering less attention than its near-collapse and its opponent’s mishaps.
