Rico Dowdle standing out early in padded practices, but still plenty of room in RB committee

The Dallas Cowboys will play their first preseason game on August 11th at the L.A. Rams. The first meaningful game of the season is less than a month after that on September 8th at the Browns to open the regular season, yet we still don’t know their plans at running back. Where free agency losses like Dante Fowler Jr., Dorance Armstrong, Tyler Biadasz, and Michael Gallup have opened the door for others at training camp in rookie Marshawn Kneeland, Brock Hoffman, Jalen Tolbert or Brooks to garner some buzz with the opportunity for more playing time, the same has truly yet to be said about replacing last year’s starting RB Tony Pollard with Rico Dowdle.
