Jerry Jones Confirms The Dallas Cowboys Will Add A Running Back Ahead Of The Trade Deadline

This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

The Dallas Cowboys picked up a much-needed victory on Sunday against the Colts. It allowed the team to get within one game of .500 as they try to keep pace in the NFC East race. They also did so without the help of George Pickens, who has been the subject of rumors.

With the way their season is going, the team likely needs another piece or two to ensure they can make a run at the division crown. Every team in the division has lost their starting QB to an injury, with Jayden Daniels eventually coming back following his elbow injury.

Despite all of that, the Cowboys are still behind and simply cannot string victories together. Not helping matters is the running back position.

Backup running back Tyler Goodson is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a knee injury suffered during Week 9. They now have a thin backfield, but Jerry Jones has a plan.

Jerry Jones Confirms Dallas Cowboys Will Add Running Back Before Trade Deadline

GM Jerry Jones announced that the team plans to get a running back on Tuesday, which happens to be the day of the NFL trade deadline. There is no limit to how many players are available at the position on the trade block.

However, he made it clear that won’t be the direction the team is expected to take. Asked if adding a running back today would be a priority, Jones said: “It will be. And we will do that today.”

Jones never confirmed whether the team would add someone via trade or free agency. He did state that it won’t be a significant trade.

With Jerry, you should always expect the unexpected. If this Dallas Cowboys squad does not get into the playoffs this year, heads will roll.
