## Resource

Dallas Cowboys are bringing back running back Israel Abanikanda after cutting him post-training camp — a move that highlights his potential despite a whirlwind journey through multiple teams. Drafted by the Jets in the fifth round, he played six games before being released, then bounced around the 49ers and Packers before Dallas signed him to a futures deal.
