What happened: The former Iowa running back joins Dallas after a stint on Atlanta's practice squad. The move comes days after Malik Davis went on injured reserve, forcing another backfield adjustment.
Why it matters: Dallas gets another healthy option as it manages running back depth during the regular season. The quick turnover at the position shows the club is still reshaping its game-day backfield behind its top options.
By the numbers: Two Dallas running back moves landed in four days: Israel Abanikanda was added Sept. 12, then waived when Goodson signed Sept. 15.
What to watch: Inactive lists and special teams usage will show how quickly Goodson enters the weekly rotation.
