What happened: Running back Javonte Williams led the Dallas Cowboys running backs through blitz pickup drills during Thursday's practice. Williams continues to work as a primary pass-protecting back in the Dallas backfield rotation.

Why it matters: Pass protection remains a central focus following a 33-30 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Nov. 1. Quarterback Dak Prescott has thrown a touchdown pass in every game this season, making backfield protection vital for sustaining offensive efficiency.

By the numbers: Dak Prescott: 77 QBR (4th in NFL), touchdown pass in every 2026 game. Dallas Cowboys: 30-33 loss vs. Arizona on Nov. 1.

What to watch: The Cowboys continue preparations for their upcoming matchup ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline.
