The Dallas Cowboys are set to sign a former New Orleans Saints third-round draft pick at running back to serve as the primary backup to Javonte Williams, according to a report from The Sporting News.

The move adds depth to the Cowboys' backfield behind Williams, who has handled a significant workload. The Saints' former third-round selection brings experience from New Orleans' system and will compete for the reserve role during the remainder of the season.

Financial terms and the player's identity were not immediately disclosed. The Cowboys have been active in bolstering their running back rotation amid a competitive NFC East race.
