Twitter: Dak's Status Unknown for Sunday; Calf Sore

[ConstantReboot]

I like forcing the Vikings to prepare for two completely different QBs. One of whom they only have a few preseason quarters of film on. Don't you?

No team needs to prepare for Cooper Rush.

Maybe they are trying to lull the Vikings into a sense of overconfidence?

I think it’s more about game planning. The game plan would be totally different for each QB.

No, but they need to prepare for Dak. The defensive game plan becomes real simple if he is out.

I'm holding out hope... we've only seen rush play with camp bodies,line, receivers,etc and you're only as good as the players around you and I'm hoping that playing with all the 1s that he can be serviceable and do enough to get the win...this will have to be a whole team effort but it can be done... Believe.

If Rush does play and he’s not even serviceable and it leads to a beat down the Cowboys will be looking for another backup QB on Monday.

A new part of my body aches daily…he needs to tough it out. I still go about my day…

Just saw from a source not allowed here Dak was cleared to play but will be a game time decision. Team still wants to see how he feels tomorrow before 100 percent committing to him starting.

One of our esteemed posters that calls Dak, Gimpo is hoping that he doesn't play another down......hope Rush is ready if he gets his wish.....

Was it liquor store guy? Tell him that he needs to have my order ready this time when I stop by tonight. Thanks

It's "unknown" to those that refuse to accept Dak is sitting out the game. Many of us can see all the signs and figure it out, Dak isn't playing

The betting line changed in favor of the Vikes, Cooper Rush took all the first-team snaps at practice this week.

LOL, you'll see, I already know.

Joe, I'll admit I was wrong here with Dak being active but not playing. He was probably healthy enough to atleast be a reserve, but get the decision. Extra week rest with a calf is huge. Glad we still came out with the W.

Thanks for coming back to me after the game.

I agree with you, Dak may have been healthy enough to play. I've felt that way all week but I also have a vision of the big picture. It's a long season ahead of us and we have a good amount of quality football behind us that we need to make matter at the end of the season. Risk management requires keeping your eye on the big picture. So removing Dak from risk for a game didn't seem like all that big of a sacrifice to me. I'm thankful our trainers and medical staff have that same big-picture perspective. Dak is our special weapon and we will need him to get to our Super Bowl destination but for now, he is still healing, so while we are on a softer part of the schedule we can afford to sit him so he is not at risk.
