As a result, the Cowboys could be looking for another kickoff returner this week, following Felix Jones' fumble on the opening kickoff in Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks.
"We’re always looking at personnel, to be honest with you, and when you make a play like that, you look hard again at that and what the alternatives are," Garrett said.

If that is the case there is a slew of of savvy veteran running backs that we could get at the veteran's minimum to be a body on third downs.
