NFL Community’s Tom Pelissero famous that Prepare dinner will “ramp up initially” on the follow squad which implies that that is clearly the place he’ll start his time with Dallas. That is vital as a result of it implies that Prepare dinner is not going to take up a roster spot.
The Cowboys finalized their preliminary 53-man roster on Tuesday afternoon and can possible amend it barely over the subsequent day, however once more Prepare dinner is not going to be part of that for now. Whether or not or not he is part of the plan for subsequent Sunday’s opener on the street in opposition to the Cleveland Browns stays to be seen.
Prepare dinner performed in 14 video games final season for the New York Jets (he did have a spell with the Baltimore Ravens within the playoffs) and totaled 67 carries for 214 yards (3.2 YPC). Clearly issues have been a bit robust for the Jets throughout the 2023 season so hopefully issues might be simpler for him as a member of a way more practical offense.
For what it’s value, Prepare dinner was a really serviceable participant for the Minnesota Vikings in 2022 (264 carries for 1,173 yards and eight speeding touchdowns). It has been a minute although since he posted extra spectacular superior numbers as his final two seasons have seen him within the negatives (albeit barely) when it comes to Dashing Yards Over Anticipated Per Carry. Prepare dinner was at -1.2 final season and at -0.1 in 2022. Though for some extra context present beginning working again Ezekiel Elliot has been on the destructive aspect of that line over his final three seasons, the primary two of which have been clearly with Dallas.
Prepare dinner, Elliott, Rico Dowdle and Deuce Vaughn spherical out the true working backs throughout the Cowboys roster and follow squad for the time being.
