NFL Fans Want Cowboys to Start Trey Lance Amid Dak Prescott's Season-Ending Injury

Dak Prescott's season is reportedly over.

The Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback is planning to undergo season-ending surgery on a hamstring injury he suffered in last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. According to Schefter, the surgery would sideline him for months and end his season.

Amid the news of Prescott's injury, fans have given their vote for who the next starter should be. On social media, fans called for Trey Lance to get the nod under center over seventh-year quarterback Cooper Rush.

The Cowboys have a tough decision to make now that they know they'll be without Prescott the rest of the way.

Rush has more experience both in the NFL and in Dallas' offense as he served as Prescott's backup for a while now. He's appeared in 27 games over the course of his career, throwing for 1,786 passing yards, nine touchdowns and six interceptions.

Lance, on the other hand, has played in just eight games and has not seen the field during the regular season since 2022. In his eight appearances, all of which came with the San Francisco 49ers, Lance had 797 passing yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions along with 235 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground.

The Cowboys dropped to 3-5 with Sunday's loss and would need a strong second half of the season to make a playoff push. Given those circumstances, it's not much of a high-risk situation, so it could be worth letting Lance get some experience under his belt.
