Cowboys cut Will Grier, Cooper Rush, leaving Dak Prescott as only QB on 53-man roster

NFL teams are making their last roster decisions as the 4 p.m. ET deadline for the final cuts looms. Typically, a team will keep three or so quarterbacks on their active roster, though some teams are extra cautious by running with four signal-callers and others roll with just one backup.

As of early Tuesday afternoon, the Dallas Cowboys are taking a different approach.

Archer continues to explain that this is likely just a temporary, strategical move by Dallas.

Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush were the only two quarterbacks to take snaps for the Cowboys in 2021. Prescott recorded a 68.8 completion percentage for 4,449 passing yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, while Rush went 30-for-47 for 422 passing yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
