Cowboys practice focuses on running back usage despite passing game dominance

The Dallas Cowboys held their second practice of training camp on July 30, focusing on running back roles despite a strong emphasis on the passing game. Javonte Williams, expected to lead the backfield, has a history of dominating carries, accounting for 69% last season. Second-year players Phil Mafah and Jaydon Blue are both vying for the RB2 role, with Mafah impressing during practice. The coaching staff is exploring ways to integrate Williams more into the passing game, aiming to enhance the offense as padded practices approach.
