Who Should I Start? Dak Prescott or Jalen Hurts

Monday, November 18, 2:26 PM

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Dallas Cowboys have officially placed quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) on injured reserve. The move was merely a formality, as it was expected that he'd miss the remainder of 2024 after suffering an avulsion fracture in his hamstring. In his absence, Dallas will continue to roll with quarterback Cooper Rush as their starter, though for how long remains to be seen. Rush didn't have a particularly encouraging outing last weekend against the Philadelphia Eagles when he completed 13-of-23 passes for 45 yards. With fourth-year player Trey Lance the only other active quarterback on the roster, it might be worth it for the Cowboys to see what they've got in the 24-year-old.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts looked solid in his return from concussion protocol in Sunday's 22-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers. Facing a tough Packers defense, Hurts completed 13 of 21 passes (61.9%) for 131 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing his composure and efficiency. He also added six rushes for 36 yards, proving the Eagles had no intention of limiting his involvement in the run game despite his recent injury. Hurts opened the game with six consecutive completions, including an 11-yard touchdown to Jahan Dotson on the Eagles' first drive. His biggest highlight came on a 24-yard touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert in the third quarter, a play that will undoubtedly make postseason highlight reels. Hurts' dual-threat capability will be crucial as the Eagles host the winner of Minnesota Vikings/Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round next week.
