Cowboys' RB Depth Crisis Deepens | Dallas Cowboys News

Cowboys’ backup running back Malik Davis is sidelined for the season after hip surgery, leaving a major hole behind starter Javonte Williams. Davis, who was finally earning his shot as the No. 2 RB and averaged nearly five yards per carry last season, could miss until 2026. Complicating matters, Dallas also released Jaydon Blue — a preseason standout averaging five yards per carry — who’s now on the Eagles’ practice squad. With no clear depth options, the Cowboys may need to look across the division or dig deeper into their own practice squad, where Israel Abanikanda sits. This injury shakes up their backfield plans big time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
