Dallas Cowboys address running back depth and trade speculation

The Dallas Cowboys are addressing inconsistencies in their rushing attack, which currently ranks 25th in the NFL with 94.1 rushing yards per game. While Javonte Williams has recorded 528 yards and 8 touchdowns, his average of 3.9 yards per carry has prompted discussions regarding the team's offensive efficiency.

To bolster depth, the Cowboys have signed running back Jashaun Corbin to the practice squad. Corbin, who previously spent time with the team during training camp and appeared in their preseason finale, brings experience from stints with the Atlanta Falcons and New York Giants.

In addition to roster moves, media analysts have proposed a potential trade for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. Taylor, a three-time Pro Bowler, has recorded 610 yards and 8 touchdowns in the 2026 season. Analysts suggest his contract structure makes him a viable target for Dallas to improve their rushing production.
