   The Cowboys placed Davis (hip) on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

   Davis underwent surgery Saturday for a hip injury, and Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports that the procedure will sideline the 27-year-old running back for the entire 2026 season. With Davis on the shelf, the Cowboys bolstered their backfield depth by signing Israel Abanikanda from the practice squad to the active roster, with the latter serving as the RB3 behind Javonte Williams and Emari Demercado.

   Davis is slated to have surgery on his injured hip Saturday and is expected to be placed on IR, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

   Davis hurt his hip during practice Friday, and the issue is severe enough to require surgery. It's not yet clear how much time the tailback will miss, but it's very possible that he'll be sidelined for most, if not all, of the 2026 campaign. The injury is an awful break for Davis, who had been slated to serve as Dallas' No. 2 running back after working mostly on special teams (and spending considerable time on the practice squad) early in his career. Emari Demercado will likely now slide into that backup role behind Javonte Williams, and Dallas figures to make a move to add another ball carrier to the roster ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup versus the Giants.

   Cowboys COO Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan Dallas that Davis (hip) suffered a "pretty serious injury" at Friday's practice that "could take him out for some period of time."

   Davis required a cart to leave the practice field Friday, was diagnosed with a hip injury and then promptly ruled out on the Cowboys' final Week 1 practice report. As long as Davis is out, Emari Demercado, Hunter Luepke and practice-squad member Israel Abanikanda will the options to fill out the backfield behind No. 1 RB Javonte Williams.

   Davis won't play Sunday at the Giants after suffering a hip injury at Friday's practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

   Davis was carted off the practice field Friday and is undergoing further tests to determine the severity of the injury. Considering he's already been ruled out for Week 1, there could be cause for concern that a multi-week absence is in store for Davis, but as long as he's sidelined Emari Demercado, Hunter Luepke and practice-squad member Israel Abanikanda will be the potential players available for RB reps behind starter Javonte Williams.

   Davis sustained a hip injury at Friday's practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

   Davis was carted off the practice field Friday. The severity of the issue isn't known, but Friday's injury report will give a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday at the Giants. Emari Demercado and practice-squad member Israel Abanikanda are the candidates for RB reps behind Javonte Williams if Davis is unable to play this weekend.
