        Malik Davis To IR, Israel Abanikanda Elevated

        The Cowboys placed RB Malik Davis (hip) on IR and elevated RB Israel Abanikanda from the practice squad. It's still unclear if Davis has a chance to return this season, but he can be dropped from all redraft rosters. Abanikanda joins RBs Javonte Williams and Emari Demercado on the active roster. FB Hunter Luepke could also handle some carries and targets out of the backfield. There's no clear-cut handcuff to Williams at this point. We'll get our first look as Dallas' backfield when they play the Giants on Sunday night.

        Cowboys RB Malik Davis suffered a "pretty serious injury" on Friday that "could take him out for some period of time," COO Stephen Jones said. We'll look for more details on Davis' hip injury, but he can be dropped in most fantasy leagues. Emari Demercado becomes Dallas' No. 2 RB for now and can be added in deeper leagues, but the Cowboys could add another body to the backfield. Jones also said that practice-squad RB Israel Abanikanda had "a heck of a camp."

        Update: Davis is scheduled for surgery on Saturday and will be placed on IR, ESPN's Todd Archer reports. That knocks him out for at least four games, but it seems like Davis will be out longer than that.

        Cowboys RB Malik Davis had to be carted off the practice field on Friday with a hip injury, according to The Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Nick Harris. We'll look for more details on his status, but Davis figures to at least miss Sunday night's game vs. the Giants, and potentially much longer. He was slated to serve as the Cowboys' No. 2 RB and handcuff to Javonte Williams. Davis' absence leaves RB Emari Demercado behind Williams. RB Israel Abanikanda is on the practice squad.

        The Cowboys claimed former Chiefs RB Emari Demercado off waivers. He will join the team after they released both second-year RBs Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah. He joins an RB room with only Javonte Williams and Malik Davis. Demercado could stick as the No. 3 RB on the team.

        The Cowboys are waiving RB Jaydon Blue. He arrived as a fifth-round pick in 2025 but totaled just 39 touches for his rookie season, nearly half of which came in Week 18
