Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy, however, has already mentioned the possibility of Prescott playing in week 3. It's not likely we'll see Herbert in the preseason at all as Chargers coach Brandon Stanley doesn't typically play any of his starters in any of the preseason games. Though we won't see Prescott or Herbert tonight, they still got plenty of practice in during the Chargers/Cowboys joint practice earlier this week. Herbert and Prescott in the joint practice Expect to see him line up a lot tonight and hopefully prove himself worthy. Ball was out his entire rookie season with an ankle injury, but saw playing time against the Broncos last week and has had sufficient play time in practices, including joint practices with the Broncos this week. The Cowboys desperately need a swing tackle they can trust. Dennis HoustonĪfter his standout Hail Mary catch and several impressive practices, Houston should be seeing a lot of the playing time tonight and next week. On Thursday, he caught an interception in the joint practice with the Chargers. Kelvin Joseph will also see some time, but it's been Bland who's stood out in camp. We should see Bland getting a lot of playing time tonight as cornerback Jourdan Lewis is out with an injury. It's up to him to prove he has a place in the competition. He was recovering from a groin injury and unable to play last week, but he should be good to go tonight. Will Grier is Rush's competition for the no. He really needs to step it up tonight if he wants to prove he belongs on any roster (though seems like the Cowboys would keep him on it even if he doesn't). He's been a backup for five years and played like he was a rookie against Denver's second and third string defense. It's not like this is new.Rush has not been a good backup since.ever. The Cowboys backup quarterback Cooper Rush really left a lot to be desired in the preseason opener against the Broncos, completing just 12 of 20 passes for 84 yards, one interception, and no touchdowns. As the preseason continues, watch out for Daniel to keep proving why he should be the QB2.ĭallas Cowboys players to watch Coooper Rush vs Will Grier Daniel so far looks like the better and more experienced option, but the competition isn't over. Stick, on the other hand,was 16 of 23 for 119 yards and one interception. Daniel was 11 of 17 for 117 yards and two touchdowns las week against the Rams. Chase Danielĭaniel is competing for the QB2 spot with Easton Stick. Keep an eye on both tonight to see if anyone stands out for the starting spot. Both got playing time in against the Rams last week and both players played well, without one standing out more than the other. These two tackles have been battling for the right tackle starting position since the beginning of the Chargers training camp. Tonight will be important for him to show that he's deserving of a chance on the roster. Rountree had just three rushes for eight yards and no catches. Rountree didn't make much of an argument for himself, while Isaiah Spiller and Joshua Kelley made more of an impression. In the Chargers preseason opener against the Rams, the RB2 battle began to heat up. Time runs out to give the Cowboys the preseason week 2 victory over the Chargers, 32-18 final score. With just under two minutes left in the game, the Chargers are able to get a TD with a pass from Daniel to Bandy and then a 2-point conversion on a pass from Daniel to Nabers. To start off the 4th quarter, Hajrullahu makes a 35-yard field goal to give the Cowboys 3 more points and put them up 32-10. By the end, there's no score and Dallas remains in the lead 29-10. The Chargers bring in Chase Daniel at QB in the third quarter. When they punt it away, Turpin explodes once again for an 86-yard punt return touchdown, his second of the night. Just before the end of the first half, the Chargers turn the ball over when Stick fumbles it. QB Rush passes it to Ferguson and the Cowboys get ahead again 15-10. They decide to go for two and it pays off. The Cowboys get down the field and get another touchdown when RB Dowdle runs it into the endzone. The Chargers got themselves a touchdown to start the second quarter when Stick made an 18-yard pass to Palmer. That's when Turpin took it back in for a touchdown immediately on the kickoff return for a 98-yard run, putting the Cowboys in the lead 7-3. A field goal by Hopkins puts them up 3-0 over the Cowboys. In the first quarter, the Chargers managed to get the first points on the board with Stick in at QB. He made two punt-return touchdowns, one for 98 yards and one for 86.
