A big problem still exists for Cowboys running back room

"However, this whole plan depends on one crucial factor: Javonte Williams' availability. What if he gets injured? How do you feel about the group then? It's one thing to ask Davis or Blue to play in spots, or even for a whole game, but what about the long haul? What if Williams goes down in training camp, or early in the regular season?"

"Davis has struggled to find a lasting role in Dallas because of poor pass blocking and a lack of overall game. While his primetime performances last year made for great, feelgood stories, there's little reason to think he should be an injury away from RB1. You got away with it last year with Williams' health, but having good luck doesn't mean you had good planning."

While the Cowboys' running back room appears adequate with Javonte Williams as the starter and depth options including Malik Davis, Jaydon Blue, and Phil Mafah, the entire plan hinges on Williams' health. If Williams suffers an injury during training camp or early season, the backup options are insufficient. Davis struggles with pass blocking and lacks overall game capability despite occasional strong performances. Blue has similar limitations and recently faced coaching discipline. Neither backup is equipped to handle a full-time bell cow workload. Relying on injury luck rather than strategic planning creates significant roster vulnerability that deserves more attention in offseason evaluations.
