Williams' expanded pass-game role in camp could unlock final offensive element.
Javonte WilliamsRBDAL
Williams set career highs in carries, yards, touchdowns, yards per attempt, and rushing success rate last season and returns as the Cowboys' starting RB. The source notes Williams accounted for 69% of the team's 362 total carries in 2025, consistent with Schottenheimer's scheme history (Tony Pollard at 69% in 2023). Early training camp shows the Cowboys specifically working to expand Williams' role in the pass game through screen plays, addressing an area where he left opportunity on the field in 2025; with deep coverage attention drawn by Pickens and Lamb, spreading short passes to Williams could be a final element making the Cowboys offense nearly unstoppable in 2026.
