Cowboys RB Depth in Question | Dallas Cowboys News

Cowboys’ season opener against the Giants could be a running back nightmare as Malik Davis, their top backup behind Javonte Williams, is sidelined with a hip injury sustained in practice. Davis, who had a strong 2023 season and earned his spot through competition, also contributes on special teams — making his absence even more impactful. With minimal depth on the roster — Emari Demercado and Israel Abanikanda are the only other options — the Cowboys may scramble to bring in Jaydon Blue or Phil Mafah from elsewhere. Williams remains the lead runner, but the lack of reliable backups puts pressure on the team heading into Week 1.
