The Cowboys did not invest a lot of money in him this year and they do have a healthy Sean Lee returning, as well as Anthony Hitchens and recent pickup Jasper Brinkley, players who are all capable of playing his role on the field. Dallas starts practice on Thursday in Oxnard, Calif. “So that’s been the trend in the league”.

Randle should get considerably more work this season and he averaged 6.7 yards per carry last year, showed some explosiveness on offense.
All the players can be activated anytime during camp.
Well, if I must be honest for a minute, the Cowboys got worse when they let DeMarco Murray walk away after having an MVP-caliber season past year.
Stephen Jackson’s bid to win over a job in the Dallas Cowboys backfield didn’t impress running back Joseph Randle. “He’s had some things that obviously surfaced at times here, off the field he’s got to mature”.
“He has the potential to be the kind of back that would step in there and be your number one back”, said Jones. “This is my first time ever experiencing free agency and really understanding the business aspect of the NFL and it’s a great business to be a part of and like I said, it was all business”. Just tell me how to go.’ I’m not going to call it naive. At 32-years old, most running backs have experienced a major decline in ability, and subsequently, performance.

McClain’s health is indeed another issue; he is starting camp on the physically unable to perform list because of offseason knee surgery. Romo was able to handle most of the off-season work, and Garrett said they’ll handle his availability on a day-by-day basis. “He’s working hard on his rehab and we just want to start with him being on PUP”. The other active running backs trailing behind him on that list are Frank Gore (11,073), Adrian Peterson (10,190), Marshawn Lynch (8,695) and Chris Johnson (8,628). According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Cowboys have roughly $17.8 million in cap space, but that does not account for the per-game roster bonuses Greg Hardy and Rolando McClain will earn during the season.
