Cowboys have a big problem quietly brewing behind Javonte Williams

The Dallas Cowboys have all but declared Javonte Williams their starting running back. Williams has not played in either of the first two preseason games, while the likes of Miles Sanders, Phil Mafah, Deuce Vaughn and Malik Davis have all gotten some burn.

Promising rookie Jaydon Blue missed the first two games with a heel injury, but he's on track to play in Friday's finale after he returned to padded practice on Tuesday.

Williams and Blue are locks to make the 53-man roster, and the vast majority of Cowboys fans want Mafah to make it over Sanders, who had a rough preseason debut against the Ravens.
