The Cowboys have agreed to a one-year, $3 million deal with RB Javonte Williams (plus another $500K available in incentives). Williams spent his first four seasons with the Broncos, losing nearly all of 2022 to a multi-ligament knee injury.

The Cowboys released RB Ezekiel Elliott. "Out of respect and appreciation for Zeke and wanting to provide him with an opportunity to pursue any potential playoff participation possible, we are releasing him from the Cowboys roster today," owner Jerry Jones said in a statement. We don't expect playoff teams to be tripping over themselves to add Elliott, who's averaging 3.1 yards per carry this season. Zeke has continued to get snaps near the goal line lately, so his absence boosts RB Rico Dowdle's TD chances in Sunday's finale vs. the Commanders.

Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle ran 13 times for only 23 yards. He did catch all three of his targets for 28 yards. It was a tough game for Dowdle who lost a goal line TD to RB Ezekiel Elliott as well.
