Tim Heitman / USA TODAY Sports

The New York Giants claimed quarterback Cooper Rush off waivers from the Dallas Cowboys, the team announced Tuesday.

Dallas cut Rush after signing Andy Dalton to serve as the top backup to Dak Prescott, though the latter still isn't signed for 2020.

Rush spent three seasons with the Cowboys after making the team as an undrafted free agent out of Central Michigan. All three of his career pass attempts came in 2017.

With the Giants, Rush reunites with offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, who served as his head coach in Dallas. He'll have a chance to earn the primary backup role behind sophomore Daniel Jones.
