Tuesday’s trade came as a surprise to the ex-Panther. But now Mingo says he’s viewing his move to Dallas as an opportunity to “prove to people what I can do and show them the best version of me.” At 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, he plans to use his size to his advantage, knowing that the Cowboys like to move their receivers around to find mismatches. He’ll suit up right away this Sunday. “Just try and get my flow,” he says, “and once I get in my groove, I can finally show people what I can do.”
Cowboys: Confidence is still there with QB Cooper Rush :: ESPN
Rush famously went 4-1 the last time he was pressed into extended service filling in for an injured Prescott. In 2022, he kept the team afloat. This time around, he’s trying to turn around a season heading off the rails. But he’s a known commodity to his teammates, who know he has the knowledge and the skills to step in and succeed. “He won games for us by just doing the basics, just playing good football,” offered Micah Parsons. “So it’s not like he can’t do it.”

The onetime third-string option in Dallas has been released by the Eagles just ahead of the two teams’ meeting. The 29-year-old has also been with the Panthers, Bengals, Patriots, and Chargers.

If they act quickly enough, the Cowboys could also get some last-minute insider help with their preparation to play Philadelphia on Sunday.
