Cowboys' Malik Davis Out for Season | 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 a breakout year, suffered a devastating hip injury during Friday practice—just two days before kickoff against the Giants. With surgery looming and a likely season-ending stint on injured reserve, Davis’s absence leaves the offense even thinner, forcing rookie Emari Demercado into the backup role. The blow comes right after Pro Bowl guard Tyler Smith also went down with thumb surgery. The Cowboys’ rushing attack now faces an uphill battle as their star starter shoulders an even heavier load.
