The Dallas Cowboys are facing challenges in their running game, ranked 26th in the league with an average of 85 yards per game after two weeks. Despite scrutiny and calls for Dalvin Cook's involvement, owner Jerry Jones remains confident in the current running backs, particularly Ezekiel Elliott's performance.

During an interview, Jones expressed surprise at the attention on the running back position this season. He acknowledged the comparisons between Elliott and Baltimore Ravens' Derrick Henry, noting both entered the league in the same year. Although Cook joined the team this offseason, Jones indicated that his playing time remains uncertain and does not see it as a concern.
