Phil Mafah steps up for RB2 role in Cowboys training camp
Summary

During the Cowboys' first training camp practice on July 29, 2026, Phil Mafah started receiving reps as the backup running back behind Javonte Williams. While Jaydon Blue also got first-team looks, Mafah's performance faced scrutiny after a fumble led to a notable 45-yard touchdown by Blue. The situation remains fluid as the competition for touches continues among Dallas running backs, including Malik Davis, who played a significant role last season.
