Cowboys consider using CeeDee Lamb and KaVontae Turpin in run game

Summary

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer suggested utilizing CeeDee Lamb and KaVontae Turpin in the running game after the team struggled with only 66 rushing yards against the Washington Commanders in Week 2. Dak Prescott's four-touchdown game highlighted the offense, but the ground game has been a concern, with Jerry Jones seeking solutions. Schottenheimer noted that the Cowboys’ poor blocking has hindered their rushing attack. The team is looking for ways to improve the offense, but any involvement from Lamb and Turpin is not a primary focus unless blocking improves.
