Cowboys Rico Dowdle out of game with hip injury

Dallas’ RB2 is out for the remainder of the game and will be evaluated.

The Cowboys will be without their backup running back for the remainder of the game. Rico Dowdle was a 2020 UDFA signing who had injury issues in college that have followed him into the pro game. After scoring his first regular season touchdown in last week’s loss to Arizona, Dowdle now finds himself with a new injury concern. Some time in the game Dowdle seems to have suffered a hip injury.

Dallas has inserted 2023 sixth-round pick Deuce Vaughn as Tony Pollard’s primary backup with Dowdle sidelined. Dowdle entered the game with 17 carries for 71 yards and another four receptions for 42 yards and a score.

He had four touches for 17 yards before his exit.
