Cowboys Run Game Has to Cash In on Packers Injuries

Inside The Star's Cody Warren argues that the Dallas Cowboys must exploit injuries across the Green Bay Packers' defense to finally establish an effective rushing attack. Although running back Javonte Williams has scored six touchdowns over the first five games, the Cowboys' ground attack has struggled for consistent yardage, averaging just 3.7 yards per attempt as offensive coordinator Klayton Adams searches for an offensive identity.

Warren notes that Green Bay will be without key defenders Edgerrin Cooper and Javon Hargrave, giving Dallas an opportunity to test replacement linebackers and interior linemen. The writer predicts Williams will log 18 carries for 75 yards and a touchdown, stressing that a dependable rushing threat will create more manageable downs for quarterback Dak Prescott.
