The Cowboys reportedly plan to stand pat and are “unlikely” to pursue a “significant trade” for a quarterback following the injury to starter Dak Prescott during Sunday night’s Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
“As of now, Cowboys do not plan to pursue significant trade for a QB barring unforeseen change, per source,” Fowler wrote on Twitter Tuesday. “Cowboys won’t take any possibility completely off table, but with Dak Prescott’s improved timeline and Cooper Rush’s familiarity with offense, team feels it can be patient.”
The latest report about Dallas’s plan behind center comes after owner Jerry Jones expressed newfound optimism about Prescott’s recovery timeline during an interview on 105.3 The Fan Tuesday morning. Jones revealed that the Cowboys would not place the two-time Pro Bowl on injured reserve because the team believes he will have the chance to play within the next four games.
