Analysis

Though Cooper Rush made his third straight start Sunday, head coach Mike McCarthy made good on his promise that the Cowboys would have a package of plays available for Lance in a backup role. Lance entered the game on a 1st-and-goal chance at the three-yard line, but he couldn't find any room on his lone rushing attempt and was immediately subbed back out for Rush, who completed a six-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Tolbert on the next play. Assuming Rush is able to play through the knee issue that resulted in him being listed as a limited participant Monday on the Cowboys' initial Week 13 injury report, Lance will remain in a backup role for Thursday's game against the Giants.

Analysis

Cooper Rush got the start at quarterback for the Cowboys with Dak Prescott (hamstring) out, but the veteran backup had trouble moving the ball and lost two fumbles. Lance took over the offense after Rush's second turnover, but he had his own issues, getting picked off in the fourth quarter on a deep ball intended for Jalen Tolbert that the wideout never even turned around to track. The score was 28-6 when Lance was brought in, so it's not clear if the switch was due to the blowout nature of the game, or if it was a signal that he'll get a real chance to claim the top job in Prescott's absence.

Analysis

Per Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday that Prescott was "likely" to be sent to the Cowboys' injured reserve list. In that case, he'd have to miss at least the next four games, during which time Cooper Rush likely would step into a starting role with Lance as his backup.

Analysis

Lance will once again serve as the Cowboys' emergency third quarterback behind Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush.

Analysis

Lance will once again be inactive and operate as the team's emergency quarterback in Week 8. He will be eligible to enter the game if both Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush get injured versus San Francisco.

Analysis

Lance is technically inactive and won't count against the 53-man roster limit. However, he'll be eligible to enter the game if Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush are both injured during Sunday's game.

Analysis

As has been the case all season, Lance will only see the field if Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush are both forced to leave Sunday's game.

Analysis

Lance will be the Cowboys' emergency quarterback for a fourth consecutive game. Lance will only be able to play if both Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush sustain injuries that force them to leave the game.

Analysis

It's more of the same for Lance, who's slotted into the emergency quarterback role as a healthy scratch in each of the first three games of the season. As customary, Lance will only be able to enter Sunday's game against Baltimore if both Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush suffer injuries that force their exit from the contest.
