Spoiler alert: there is still some consternation surrounding the Cowboys’ running back room. Neglecting the position throughout the entire 2024 NFL Draft, and following it up with the Ezekiel Elliott reunion, has done little to inspire faith in the team’s ability to field a solid running game in 2024.
A majority of the conversation around the Cowboys running backs has centered on Elliott and Rico Dowdle, who put up 361 rushing yards and 144 receiving yards with four total touchdowns as the backup to Tony Pollard. This is for good reason, as those two are the most likely to see the bulk of the carries in 2024.
