Watch Dak Prescott help Cooper Rush prepare for…

Here is Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott helping his backup Cooper Rush get ready for his Sunday Night Football start at the Minnesota Vikings.

With Dak Prescott being ruled out for Sunday Night Football, here is the Dallas Cowboys quarterback helping his backup Cooper Rush get ready for the primetime start vs. the Minnesota Vikings.

Prescott was going to be a game-time decision for this primetime game. While he did warm up on the U.S. Bank Stadium turf in the pre-game, there was nothing he did in sweats that led the Cowboys to change their stance on the injured quarterback. Rush will get the start for America’s Team on Sunday night with Will Grier serving as his backup vs. a feisty Vikings defense.

Here is Prescott tossing balls to Rush so that he can get ready for his big start.

It came down to the wire, but ESPN’s Chris Mortensen had it first as to who would be getting the start for the Cowboys on Sunday night.

Will Dak Prescott play tonight?

Given that Dallas is 5-1 and riding a five-game winning streak, the Cowboys can afford to proceed with caution with their most important player. Minnesota might have a strong home-field advantage, but the Vikings are only 3-3 on the season. It also helps that Dallas is clearly the best team in the worst division in football. They are so far ahead of their division rivals, it is ridiculous.

Overall, the only people who are freaking out about Prescott’s game-time decision were the many fantasy football players who have him as their starting quarterback. Either they were proactive enough to start someone else earlier in the day or were able enough to act swiftly and pick up Rush in a worst-case scenario. Dallas may win this game, but many fantasy teams will suffer.

Prescott tried to give it a go for Sunday Night Football, but he has officially been ruled out.
