The Dallas Cowboys have named Rico Dowdle as their starting running back for the 2024 season, beating out veterans Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin Cook. Dowdle, who has shown promise in past seasons, is expected to lead the team in rushing despite the experienced competition. The Cowboys are also welcoming several new faces, including rookie offensive linemen Tyler Guyton and Beebe, who are aiming to fill significant roles on the team. As the season approaches, uncertainty looms over the team, particularly regarding quarterback Dak Prescott and head coach Mike McCarthy, both in the final year of their contracts. This situation, compounded by the departure of leading rusher Tony Pollard to the Titans, adds to the drama surrounding 'America's Team'. The Cowboys will kick off their season against the Cleveland Browns in six days.
