An hour before their crucial Wild Card round game against the Green Bay Packers, the Dallas Cowboys took a bold gamble. Cooper Rush, the backup quarterback for the Packers, unexpectedly appeared on the injury list on Friday due to a sickness.
Rush was absent from the Cowboys’ final two practices on Friday and Saturday, according to several reports. The Cowboys didn’t want the illness to spread to other starting players because it was either serious enough for him to miss important practice time or it was still contagious.
