Malik Davis aims for Cowboys' RB2 role with strong preseason effort

Malik Davis looks to secure the RB2 position for the Dallas Cowboys as the team prepares for its second preseason game against the Cardinals this week. With anticipated performances from fellow running backs Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah limited by injuries, Davis is expected to take on a significant workload. After previously facing challenges in his NFL career, including being waived and re-signed multiple times, Davis has demonstrated consistent performance when given opportunities. He recorded 52 carries for 250 yards and two touchdowns in 2025, reinforcing his case for a spot on the finalized 53-man roster.
