Cowboys desperately need to sign running back after roster cuts
This Dallas position group has been sliced as thin as deli meat.
The Dallas Cowboys are in need of a running back after making multiple roster cuts, leaving only three available options on the team. With Jaydon Blue, Phil Mafah, and Israel Abanikanda waived, the team is down to Javonte Williams, Malik Davis, and Hunter Luepke. Williams, signed to a three-year, $24 million deal, has set career highs with 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns.
However, his injury history raises concerns about his reliability. Malik Davis has shown flashes of brilliance but is still far from a workhorse. Hunter Luepke, more of a pass protection and jumbo package piece, is unlikely to be the Cowboys' primary back. ESPN's Todd Archer suggests that the Cowboys may retain some waived players as practice squad call-ups, potentially turning to Jaydon Blue, who has yet to prove his worth on the Cowboys' roster. Dallas fans are left to hope that Williams remains healthy and consistent throughout the season.
