one Dallas Cowboys running back’s days with the team could be numbered as the 2024 NFL season slowly approaches. The Cowboys’ running back group has been a point of conversation all offseason, but the odd man out could be Malik Davis.
Davis is entering his third NFL season after joining Dallas as an undrafted free agent in the 2022 NFL draft. But with the additions of Royce Freeman and Ezekiel Elliott to the roster, Blogging the Boys’ Mike Poland believes Davis has an uphill battle to make the 53-man squad.“Davis is already pretty low on the depth chart, but it’s worth mentioning as it pertains to the running back position, a spot with the most question marks,” Poland wrote on May 17. “The Cowboys signing Royce Freeman before the draft was a signifier to Davis that this coaching staff felt uneasy about the depth at the position. The addition of Ezekiel Elliott back in Dallas pretty much ended any hope for Davis to make the roster (unless for injury).”
It makes sense, as both Freeman and Elliott have significantly more experience than Davis. While Davis hasn’t seen a ton of regular season play, the Cowboys know what his skill level is after two full seasons.
