Malik Davis elevated to Cowboys backup RB role after Blue and Mafah waivers.

Malik Davis seems likely to serve as Dallas' backup running back to open the 2026 season after being listed as the team's fourth-string running back on the most recent depth chart release. With both Blue and Phil Mafah waived, Davis—who has spent his entire five-year career with the Cowboys and totaled 411 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns on 90 career carries while catching eight passes for 79 yards—is positioned to move up significantly in the depth chart.
