I agree here. and Jones is an athlete
They only have 3 RBs now. have kept 4 or 5 in previous years. it's very possible they keep him on the active roster once Jones comes back.

possibly. but that's not uncommon, especially in GB. remember when they trotted out Don Jackson and had to go get Christine Michael and Knile Davis just 2 years ago for bodies?
Likely a depth move but with no certainty in this backfield yet, and Jacksons athelticism, he's worth a dynasty stash
Maybe worth a stash on a +30 roster league. There’s plenty of certainty in GB. It’s certain that it will be one of the three big names, because all three carried the load at some point last year. We just don’t know who. Don’t even waste time the time clicking the add button with JacksonDr. Dan said:

He will probably have to lose some weight to earn more usage in the NFL. He's built like a 3 down back, but with the way the NFL is trending, if you're not a Day 1 or Day 2 pick, then you're probably better off specializing in something. Here, I think he should cut some weight and focus on his speed and quickness.

Cowboys signed RB Alfred Morris.
Initially scheduled to visit the Saints, Morris 'coincidently' put pen to paper with Dallas on the very day Cowboys owner Jerry Jones publicly stated "[teams] don't need a rushing champion to win a Super Bowl." No matter how much the 30-year-old has left in the tank, it's obviously bad news for Elliott's team that the franchise simply drew a line in the sand and brought back an old favorite who not only rushed for 115/547/1 while donning the star two seasons ago, but is also familiar with Jason Garrett's coaching style. Morris is an immediate pick-to-click as the team's No. 2 runner (pending Zeke's holdout) ahead of Darius Jackson, but shouldn't eat at rookie Tony Pollard's passing-game usage. The latter remains a premier late-round option in PPR formats, while Morris has upside as the leading candidate for short-yardage and goal line situations.

If you want to put stock in a RB who was made inactive for Jeffrey Wilson and was toast on the same team that had Wilson, Raheem Mostert and Matt Brieda produce. By all means. I’ll be buying Pollard and Darius Jackson where I can. I would expect nothing less from this board though.

I'll take the guy (Morris) who has averaged approximately 4.5 yards per carry on over 200 carries for the past 2 seasons with Dallas, over Darrius Jackson who has 6 total career carries and has been cut by 3 different teams.
The short term fix is probably no one since I think Ezekiel Elliott will start the season in the Dallas backfield, but I''ll take Alfy Morris hands down as insurance.

Cowboys reps at running back for walk thru Thursday...Tony Pollard and Darius Jackson alternated with first team. Alfred Morris ran with second team along with Mike Weber

Darius Jackson tops first unofficial depth chart. Alf Morris third string behind Pollard.
