Dallas Cowboys quarterback Matt Cassel could become the team's starting QB for Week 7 following the team's bye.

According to NFL insider Jason Cole, the Cowboys are "highly likely" to make the switch after they take a look at the position over the next week.

Head coach Jason Garrett said after Sunday night's loss to the Patriots that the team would evaluate the quarterback position. This means Cassel has the chance to take over for Brandon Weeden who has lost his last three starts for the Cowboys.

“Brandon didn’t play well enough,” Garrett said following the 30-6 home defeat, via ESPN Dallas. “We didn’t play well enough. We’re going to watch the tape and evaluate each guy and each unit to see how we can play better. That’s just the process we go through each week. Ultimately, we didn’t score enough points. Brandon was a part of that, but everybody else was a part of it too.”

Through the first half on Sunday, Weeden only amassed 36 total passing yards against an averaged-ranked Patriots pass defense. He ended his day going 26-of-39 for 188 yards with one interception.

The Cowboys are simply limited with Weeden under center and putting Cassel at quarterback could provide a spark. In 2008, Cassel replaced an injured Tom Brady and led the Patriots to a 11-5 record. In 2010, Cassel threw for 3,116 yards and 27 touchdowns with seven interceptions for a 10-6 playoff Chiefs team.

Cassel was acquired by the 'Boys via trade with the Bills after quarterback Tony Romo went down in Week 2. He was brought as substantial insurance to Weeden if he couldn't get the job done. Heading into the bye week with three consecutive losses now has the Cowboys searching for answers on offense.
