Dak Prescott is anticipated to miss 6-8 weeks with a fractured thumb, according to Cowboys executive Stephen Jones, who stated Monday on 105.3 The Fan that the organization would be "considering all alternatives." As they did in the one game Prescott missed in 2021 due to a calf ailment; the Cowboys are predicted to start backup Cooper Rush this time.
However, the 49ers have a backup quarterback that they have been trying to move all off-season.
Week 1 of the team's loss to the Bears saw Jimmy Garoppolo sit on the bench as Trey Lance labored. The 49ers have insurance with Garoppolo because of his no-trade clause if Lance keeps playing as he did on Sunday.
However, when the Cowboys contacted, head coach Kyle Shanahan asked if the 49ers would consider trading quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to Dallas.
According to Shanahan, "We'll listen to anyone on anything, just like all athletes," David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com. "For any player or coach, that never changes. We're open to hearing from everyone.
The 49ers retained Garoppolo on a revised one-year contract. Barring a trade, he would have to approve, and it will keep him in San Francisco until 2022.
