Dallas Cowboys seek running back depth following Malik Davis injury

The Dallas Cowboys face a significant setback in their backfield after running back Malik Davis suffered a serious hip injury during practice. Davis was carted off the field and is expected to undergo surgery, which will result in him being placed on injured reserve. Co-owner Stephen Jones described the injury as “pretty serious,” noting it could sideline the undrafted player for an extended period.

With only Javonte Williams and Emari Demercado remaining on the active roster, the Cowboys are looking for ways to bolster their depth. Potential solutions include pursuing free agent Austin Ekeler, a veteran dual-threat back who is recovering from a previous Achilles injury, or exploring a trade with the Seattle Seahawks for running back Emanuel Wilson.
