Cowboys RB Malik Davis Out with a Hip Injury. Giants WR Malik Nabers Is Questionable
Malik Davis was carted off with a hip injury, and the Cowboys may need a practice-squad call-up for Sunday night’s opener, reporters said.
- On Friday, Dallas Cowboys running back Malik Davis suffered a hip injury during practice and was carted off, ruling him out for Sunday's season opener against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.
- Entering his fifth season with Dallas, Davis had secured the backup role behind Javonte Williams after posting career-best stats in 2025: 250 yards and 2 touchdowns across 10 games.
- Cowboys chief operating officer Stephen Jones called the injury "pretty serious," suggesting the 27-year-old could miss more than just one game while the team assesses the situation.
- The Dallas Cowboys may elevate Israel Abanikanda from the practice squad, while veteran Emari Demercado—claimed off waivers from the Kansas City Chiefs—is poised for increased opportunities.
- Head coach Brian Schottenheimer praised Demercado as a "good veteran" with pass-catching ability as Dallas prepares for Week 2 against the Washington Commanders in Texas and Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens.
