The Dallas Cowboys will be short-handed at running back for the remainder of Sunday’s game against the Patriots. The Athletic ‘s Jon Machota reported that Rico Dowdle will miss the remainder of the Week 4 games for Dallas.

Dowdle left Sunday’s game with a hip injury and will not return. He had nine rushing yards on three carries and caught one pass for eight yards before his exit.

Entering Sunday’s game, Dowdle had 71 rushing yards on 17 carries and had three receptions for 42 yards. He caught his first touchdown pass of the season in last weekend’s loss to the Cardinals.

The Cowboys may not need Dowdle’s services anyway, taking a 28-3 lead into halftime against New England.
