The Dallas Cowboys are making significant changes to their running back lineup for Week 9, as Ezekiel Elliott will not travel to Atlanta and will be inactive for the game. This opens the door for Rico Dowdle and Dalvin Cook to take the reins in the backfield.

Dalvin Cook, who was elevated from the practice squad, had a modest debut last week against the San Francisco 49ers. Meanwhile, cornerback Josh Butler has also been elevated, providing depth in the secondary with Trevon Diggs listed as questionable due to a calf strain.
