It looks like it'll be at least one more week of Cooper Rush leading the Dallas Cowboys offense.
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said he considers QB Dak Prescott to be still in the “medical, rehab phase. …We are preparing for Cooper (Rush) to start against the Eagles.” https://t.co/cxyYk5mrVr

Cowboys starting quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a thumb injury late in the team's Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has been on the shelf since. Rush has filled in admirably, not only tossing four touchdown passes against zero interceptions (with no turnovers at all) in his four starts, but leading Dallas to four consecutive wins as well.
After causing a stir in September suggesting a possible starting quarterback battle upon Prescott's return, owner Jerry Jones has since claimed that the two-time Pro Bowler is "QB1" when healthy. Additionally, Jones said earlier this week that Prescott "needs to really spin the ball" in order to suit up against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6.
The Eagles come into the "Sunday Night Football" home contest as the league's lone unbeaten squad at 5-0, but both the Cowboys and New York Giants are right on their heels in the NFC East with 4-1 records.
