DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - Cowboys COO Stephen Jones praised quarterback Garrett Gilbert for his performance in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers.
"Gilbert came out there and had a hell of a day and moved the ball well," Jones said of the Cowboys fourth starting quarterback this season. "I thought he had a hell of a day and gave us every opportunity to win."

Gilbert proved the Cowboys coaching staff right for making the switch from rookie quarterback Ben DiNucci to himself this week. But did he do enough to earn more playing time this season with backup quarterback Andy Dalton slated to return after the bye week?
"That remains to be seen. Obviously, Andy's our quarterback now that Dak is out for the year. Certainly, if he gets back, which hopefully he'll pass his (concussion) protocol, and be ready to go as far as the coronavirus is concerned. It's our bye week and that gives him a chance to get up to speed. We'll just have to see what the next two weeks bring."
