Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy has been fined for violating rules regarding offseason practices for the second-straight year.

McCarthy was fined $100,000, and the Cowboys were docked an organized team activity for 2023 for holding practices that were deemed too physical by the NFL.

A year ago, McCarthy was fined $50,000 and the Cowboys fined $100,000 and had an OTA taken away this offseason for the same reason. 

Tony Pollard is open to exploring different roles for the Dallas Cowboys this coming season.

Ezekiel Elliott is healthy and likely to take on the bulk of the rushing duties in 2022.

"I'm open to anything just being on the field, being able to make the most of my opportunities," Pollard said. "If I have to line up in the slot a little more, whatever it takes, I'm ready to do it."

Pollard had a career year last season as Elliott struggled through a knee injury.

Former Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears running back Marion Barber III has died at age 38, the Cowboys said in a statement.

"We are heartbroken by the tragic death of Marion Barber III," the team said. "Marion was an old-school, hard-nosed football player who ran with the will to win every down. He had a passion for the game and love for his coaches and teammates. Our hearts go out to Marion's family and friends during this difficult time."

The cause of Barber's death is unknown.
