Rico Dowdle is edging out Malik Davis for a backup RB role with Deuce Vaughn

The Dallas Cowboys continue to look for running back depth behind Tony Pollard as they give opportunities to Rico Dowdle, Malik Davis, and sixth-round rookie Deuce Vaughn. Last week gave us our first look at Vaughn and suffice to say, he was impressive. He stood out as the team’s top rusher with eight carries for 50 yards including a 26-yard scamper and a four-yard touchdown run a few plays later.

While the rookie’s roster spot is secure, the team is still trying to figure out what additional players will fill out the running back room. Dowdle looked better than Davis last week.
