Rush, who had started every game since Dak Prescott's hamstring injury, was replaced as the starter by Trey Lance vs. the Commanders

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush has earned a $250,000 incentive based on being on the field for 45% of the team’s offensive snaps. He can earn an additional $250,000 in playtime incentives if he reaches the 55% threshold,

This decision proved to be costly for Rush. One of his contract incentives was $250,000 for playing 45% of the Cowboys' snaps. With the former Central Michigan star not seeing the field, he did not reach this number and, therefore, did not receive his bonus.
