The Dallas Cowboys were left with many questions following the embarrassing Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

One of the most glaring weaknesses for the team is the lack of a consistent running game.

Dallas failed to address the lack of depth at running back during the offseason outside of the signings of aging veterans Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin Cook.

The Cowboys had the worst-ranked running back room on multiple offseason lists and it's proven to be ineffective through two weeks.

It's time for a change, so should the team finally see what Cook has left in the tank and elevate him from the practice squad for Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens?

Jerry Jones was asked about the possible move during his appearance on Shan & RJ on Audacy's 105.3 The Fan and said there aren't immediate plans to make a change from the running back-by-committee led by Zeke and Rico Dowdle.

Will Dalvin Cook be called upon this week to potentially boost the running game? “I don’t necessarily see a change that would involve Cook this week,” Jerry Jones said on @1053thefan.
