Jaydon Blue, Phil Mafah, Malik Davis, and Israel Abanikanda battled it out for the RB2 role, which Davis ultimately won – apparently in strong enough fashion to push the rest of his competition off the roster entirely.

Abanikanda cut after losing RB2 competition to Malik Davis.

Israel Abanikanda was cut from the Cowboys 53-man roster after competing for the RB2 role. Abanikanda lost the RB2 competition to Malik Davis, who won decisively enough to push all other running back competitors off the roster entirely. The source notes the Cowboys opted not to keep Abanikanda as a RB3 with potential to rise to RB2 depending on game plan, which is characterized as a surprise. Abanikanda will be a candidate to watch for potential practice squad signing.
