Rookie running back Mike Weber was cut by the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday. Weber was drafted with the 218th overall pick but was outplayed by fellow rookie Tony Pollard in the preseason. If Weber makes it through waivers, he's likely to spend some time on the Cowboys practice squad.
Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Mike Weber ran the ball five times on Thursday, gaining just seven yards. He caught three of his four targets in the passing game though, picking up 33 yards through the air. Weber is clearly behind Tony Pollard and Alfred Morris will certainly have a role as well, but Weber should have a spot on the roster at least until Ezekiel Elliott ends his holdout.
Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Mike Weber led the Cowboys backfield in carries on Saturday with six. He gained 18 yards and "added" two catches for a loss of five yards. In a backfield without Ezekiel Elliott (holdout), Weber wasn't featured but did get the most touches. It'll be interesting to follow the Cowboys backfield throughout the preseason if things don't get squared away with Elliott soon.
