Cowboys' Malik Davis: Struggles in spot start

Davis was the first running back to see action for Dallas on Saturday, but he struggled to the tune of four yards on three carries and four receptions for 19 yards in a preseason loss to Jacksonville.

Davis is looking to secure the backup role behind Tony Pollard (ankle) this preseason, so this rough outing will not help his case -- especially after Deuce Vaughn (eight carries for 50 yards and a TD) dominated when it was his turn to take the field, and even Rico Dowdle (54 scrimmage yards on nine touches) was more productive. Davis will need to rebound quickly against the Seahawks on Saturday if he wants to lock down the top reserve role in an exciting ground attack in Dallas.
