The Dallas Cowboys are making decisive changes to address their running game woes after a disappointing 2024 season. The team ranked among the league’s worst in rushing statistics, finishing 24th in attempts, 27th in yards, and last in touchdowns. With Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott already gone, the Cowboys continued their purge by waiving running back Malik Davis, as well as offensive linemen Jack Anderson and Earl Bostick, and linebacker Brock Mogensen.
Malik Davis, who spent the 2024 season on the practice squad, had minimal impact during his time with the Cowboys. He appeared in 12 games in 2022 and three in 2023, tallying 161 rushing yards, one touchdown, and 63 receiving yards over his career. Despite his efforts, Davis was unable to break through and secure a role in the team’s backfield rotation. His release signals the Cowboys’ intent to completely revamp their running back room.
Shedeur Sanders arrives at Browns facility in casual fit
The Cowboys have taken proactive steps to strengthen their rushing attack this offseason. They signed free agents Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders, two versatile players capable of reinvigorating the team’s ground game. Additionally, Dallas invested in the future by drafting Texas standout Jaydon Blue and Clemson’s Phil Mafah. With these moves, the Cowboys appear determined to leave behind the struggles of their 2024 campaign and build a more dynamic backfield.
More questions at running back
Deuce Vaughn, who has shown potential in his role, now faces uncertainty regarding his spot on the roster. With the influx of talent at running back, Vaughn’s position may be in jeopardy as the team prepares for the upcoming season. The Cowboys’ willingness to overhaul the entire running back room demonstrates their urgency to turn their fortunes around and compete at a higher level in 2025.
The focus on reshaping the running back position comes at a pivotal time for Dallas, as they look to balance their offense and complement their aerial attack. By prioritizing depth and versatility in the backfield, the Cowboys aim to elevate their rushing game to support their overall offensive strategy. Fans will be closely watching how the new additions perform in training camp and preseason action.
As the Cowboys move forward with their revamped backfield, the spotlight will be on how these changes translate on the field. The team looks to change the approach and reinvigorate their rushing attack and push them toward postseason success. Only time will tell, but Dallas seems committed to making significant strides in 2025.

Inter Miami’s pressing questions after a painful Concacaf Champions Cup ouster
In the days after Lionel Messi was first introduced as an Inter Miami player, and before he made his memorable debut against Cruz Azul, club owner Jorge Mas was asked what would constitute a success in the Messi Era of Miami and MLS.“We’re successful,” he said. “We’ve succeeded. Expectations are something else, but we’ve succeeded. The fact that Lionel Messi is here, that Sergio Busquets is here, that others are going to come here, that we’re opening new chapters for the sport in this country, we’ve succeeded.”AdvertisementMas was right, of course. That Messi signed in MLS was a massive win for the league, and Messi’s presence playing for Inter Miami will never be measured solely by on-field results. The commercial impact has been beyond even the highest expectations, with Miami selling out stadiums across the league and setting attendance records […]
