Cowboys roster breakdown: Running backs and tight ends are scarce

We’re taking a look at two positions for the Dallas Cowboys in this installment, backs and tight ends, due to the small number of names involved from all sources.

The Cowboys took what was seen to be a bit of a gamble last season in the backfield, only carrying two running backs and a fullback. Somewhat surprisingly, they got away with it, and had no noticeable negative effects. It will remain to be seen if Mike McCarthy is also comfortable with such a sparsely occupied room.

Currently under contract

That’s the three from last season.
