Cowboys Elevate Rico Dowdle to Lead Running Back

Coach Mike McCarthy shifts strategy as Dallas struggles with a 3-6 record and injuries.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has named Rico Dowdle as the team's lead running back, moving away from a committee approach.
Dowdle has been performing well, recording 374 rushing yards on 83 carries, and is expected to boost the Cowboys' struggling ground game.
Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin Cook will see reduced roles as Dowdle takes on more responsibility in the backfield.
The Cowboys are facing a challenging season with a 3-6 record and quarterback Dak Prescott out due to a season-ending injury.
Dallas aims to improve their performance against the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football, with both teams seeking to end losing streaks.
