Cowboys Lose Key Backup to Injury | Dallas Cowboys News

Dallas Cowboys running back Malik Davis is set for hip surgery and will miss the season opener after being carted off during Friday’s practice — a major blow for a team already thin at running back. The 27-year-old, who had a solid 2023 season with over 200 rushing yards and two touchdowns, was the team’s top backup. With Davis sidelined, rookie Emari Demercado steps in as the new No. 2 behind Javonte Williams. The Cowboys are focused on recovery and adapting quickly — injuries in the NFL can change everything, and this one leaves a big void they’ll need to fill fast.
