The Dallas Cowboys are shifting towards a running back by committee approach this season, moving away from their history of featured rushers.

Head coach Mike McCarthy emphasized the importance of distribution among running backs to cope with the physical demands of the position.

Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott are set to share leading rusher duties, with rookies Deuce Vaughn and Hunter Luepke playing specialized roles.

Dalvin Cook, recently signed, also aims to contribute, hoping to balance traditional running duties with adapting to a more collaborative system.
