RT “Cowboys Sound the Alarm: Jaydon Blue Situation Reaches ‘Critical Emergency’ Level”
With Miles Sanders lost for the season and trust in rookie Jaydon Blue at an all-time low, Dallas faces an impossible choice: overwork their star Javonte Williams or turn to a struggling fifth-round pick against the NFL’s best.
FRISCO, TX — The Dallas Cowboys are staring down a brutal stretch of their season, a four-game crucible against the Eagles, Chiefs, and Lions packed into just 18 days. While the entire roster will be tested, one position has emerged as a critical vulnerability: the RB2 spot behind workhorse Javonte Williams. With Miles Sanders on injured reserve, the Cowboys are caught between running their star into the ground and turning to a rookie who has so far proven he isn’t ready for the spotlight.

The predicament is one of the Cowboys’ own making. The decision to release veteran Malik Davis from the active roster and re-sign him to the practice squad has left Jaydon Blue, their 2025 fifth-round pick, as the only other running back on the 53-man roster. This is a player who has been a healthy scratch five times this season and has managed just 70 total yards on 23 touches, with a critical fumble against the Broncos cratering the coaching staff’s trust in him.
According to Pro Football Focus, Blue is currently graded as one of the lowest-ranked running backs in the entire NFL. His struggles in pass protection and a lack of physicality between the tackles have made coaches hesitant to give him meaningful snaps.

The Impossible Calculus for Dallas
The Cowboys are now trapped in a no-win situation:
Option A: Overwork Javonte Williams, who is already averaging over 18 touches per game. Asking him to shoulder a 70+ touch load in less than three weeks against elite defenses is a recipe for injury and burnout.
Option B: Force-feed Jaydon Blue carries he hasn’t earned. While this aligns with the team’s 3-5-1 record and “evaluation mode,” it actively hurts their chances of winning crucial games against Super Bowl contenders.

There is no cavalry coming. The only other alternative is using fullback Hunter Luepke more as a runner, a strategy the team has been reluctant to employ all season.
The Cowboys’ failure to adequately address their running back depth is coming home to roost at the worst possible time. Jaydon Blue is about to get a crash course in NFL physicality, not because he’s earned it, but because his team has no other choice. For a franchise clinging to faint playoff hopes, this forced experimentation could be the move that officially breaks their season. The next 18 days won’t just test the Cowboys’ stamina—they’ll expose the front office’s flawed roster construction for the entire league to see.
