Cowboys’ Malik Davis Out Before Season Opens | Dallas Cowboys News

Dallas Cowboys’ season opener just got a lot tougher: running back Malik Davis, who’d clawed his way to the No. 2 RB spot after years of grinding on the practice squad, suffered a serious hip injury in Friday’s practice. The team’s top backup is now sidelined for the season, forcing them to turn to waiver-wire pickup Emari Demercado and others to fill the void — all while dealing with another key offensive loss. Davis, an undrafted rookie who broke out last year with over 400 yards and a 100-yard game, had finally earned his shot — only to have it ripped away before kickoff. A brutal reminder of how fleeting opportunity can be in the NFL. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
