Cowboys Fill RB Void With Abanikanda | Dallas Cowboys News

Dallas Cowboys’ running back room just got a major shakeup after Malik Davis suffered a season-ending hip injury, forcing the team to promote Israel Abanikanda from the practice squad. Davis, who emerged as a key backup last season, now needs surgery, opening the door for Abanikanda — a 217-pound former draft pick with potential to be a workhorse. He joins a backfield already led by Javonte Williams and featuring Emari Demercado as a versatile change-of-pace back. With Williams expected to carry the load and Demercado excelling in passing situations, Abanikanda’s role remains uncertain — will he see significant snaps or stay behind the scenes? The Cowboys’ depth and adaptability will be put to the test as they navigate this unexpected roster shift. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
