**10:43 p.m.** – The Cowboys chose to sit Javonte Williams, Malik Davis and Jayden Blue on Friday night against the Saints. Whether that means all three are safe on the roster remains to be seen, but someone had to start the game and get the bulk of the carries.
That task went to Phil Mafah, who is also firmly in the mix to make the team. He started the game and led the team with 12 carries for 46 yards. Also splitting time in the backfield was Israel Abinikanda, who had seven carries for 16 yards but caught three balls for 16 yards.
The Cowboys will cut down the roster to 53 players by Sunday's deadline at 5 p.m. (CDT).
