Dallas Cowboys name starting QB for Houston Texans game

The Houston Texans are gearing up for a Lone Star showdown against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11, and now they know who they’ll be facing under center during the game.

With Dak Prescott undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery, the Cowboys opted to start Cooper Rush against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. However, he was replaced midway through the game by former No. 3 overall pick Trey Lance.

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy clarified that Rush would remain the starter despite a 34-6 loss at home to the Eagles on Sunday.

Rush completed 13 of 23 passes for 45 yards against the Eagles, which should be a promising sign for the Texans.

Houston has forced quarterbacks to compete against defenses many times this season. Most recently, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw five interceptions against them in Week 10 on Sunday Night Football.

However, the Texans need a big win after dropping two in a row, so they can’t underestimate Rush and give him a rebound game.

Kickoff between the Texans and Cowboys is scheduled for Monday at 7:15 PM CT.
