Cowboys Fill RB Gap After Davis Injury | Dallas News

Dallas Cowboys backup running back Malik Davis is out for the season opener after suffering a serious hip injury in practice, leaving a critical gap in their RB depth. The team’s COO Stephen Jones confirmed the injury’s severity and expects Davis to miss several weeks. To fill the void, Dallas has quickly turned to waiver claim Emari Demercado — a familiar face who worked with OC Klayton Adams — as the immediate replacement. Backup Hunter Luepke and practice squad standout Israel Abanikanda are also ready to step up if needed. With the Giants looming, the Cowboys’ offense must adapt fast — and Demercado’s debut could be the key to keeping momentum alive.
