Cowboys free agency: Dallas bringing back running back Rico Dowdle

Rico Dowdle was starting to look like a tragic figure in recent Cowboys history. The running back’s contract was up after two injury-plagued seasons, but Dallas is still hoping he can contribute in 2023. Dowdle just re-signed with the team as the running back position remains a priority after Ezekiel Elliott’s departure.

Dowdle was an undrafted free agent in 2020 who immediately found work as the third-string RB behind Elliott and Tony Pollard.
