The Dallas Cowboys don't have a situation at quarterback. Well, unless you don't count the contract situation between the starting quarterback, Dak Prescott, and the franchise.

However, Prescott will be suiting up as QB 1 when the Cowboys take the field on Week 1 of the regular schedule.

But a lot of eyes are on the quarterback depth chart, including a former top-ten pick who didn't have a locked-in spot on the official 53-man roster. That was until moments ago.

News that isn't shocking and could put Lance at ease, knowing he isn't battling for a spot on the team anymore and could play more lose in the final preseason game of the season.
