The Dallas Cowboys have made significant roster changes, particularly in the running back department, leading to the release of draft picks Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah. Coach Brian Schottenheimer noted the difficulty of these decisions, emphasizing the potential both players had shown. He pointed out that Malik Davis's consistent performance played a crucial role in the team's choices.
To enhance their roster, the Cowboys claimed running back Emari Demercado from Kansas City. Schottenheimer highlighted Demercado's versatility and his previous connection with offensive coordinator Klayton Adams as factors in the acquisition. The Cowboys have also signed 13 players to their practice squad, including running back Israel Abanikanda.
While Schottenheimer did not commit to the possibility of bringing Blue or Mafah back to the practice squad, he acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding their future. He expressed confidence in the current running back group and reiterated the team's commitment to building a competitive roster, which is essential as they finalize their roster decisions.
