  • Cowboys' Malik Davis: Scores first TD of 2025

    Davis turned three carries into 47 yards and a touchdown during the Cowboys' 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Thursday.

    Davis played just nine snaps on offense compared to Javonte Williams' 56, but the former helped give the Cowboys a 17-14 lead in the second quarter with a 43-yard touchdown run. With rookie fifth-rounder Jaydon Blue a healthy scratch for each of Dallas' last four games, Davis appears to be fully entrenched as the RB2 behind Williams, though the latter figures to still serve as the team's workhorse out of the backfield. Davis has logged 10 carries for 91 yards across three games since the Cowboys' Week 10 bye.

  • Cowboys' Malik Davis: Three carries in Week 12 win

    Davis carried the ball three times for 24 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles.

    The 26-year-old filled the No. 2 role in the Dallas backfield but was a distant second to Javonte Williams (101 total yards on 22 touches) in workload. Davis has taken seven carries for 44 yards over the last two weeks since moving ahead of rookie Jaydon Blue on the depth chart -- an impressive 6.3 yards per carry -- but his fantasy utility is extremely limited as long as Williams is healthy.

  • Cowboys' Malik Davis: Joins Dallas' active roster

    The Cowboys signed Davis to their active roster off the practice squad Saturday.

    Davis logged a season-high 19 percent offensive snap share and turned in campaign-high marks with four carries for 20 yards last Sunday against Las Vegas. He reverted back to the Cowboys' practice squad Wednesday, but Dallas has now decided to sign him to the active roster. Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News speculates that Davis will take on the No. 2 RB role behind Javonte Williams, which is how he had been deployed the past two weeks. Jaydon Blue thus seems marked for third in the RB pecking order.

  • Cowboys' Malik Davis: Reverts to practice squad

    Davis reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    The Florida product has operated as the Cowboys' No. 2 running back in each of the team's last two games, rushing five times for 23 yards while rookie Jaydon Blue has been a healthy scratch. It's likely that Davis will return to Dallas' active roster before the team's Week 12 matchup against the Eagles.

  • Cowboys' Malik Davis: Elevated ahead of MNF

    Davis was elevated from the Cowboys' practice squad ahead of Monday's game against the Raiders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Davis could be active as the Cowboys' No. 2 running back ahead of rookie Jaydon Blue. The 26-year-old has appeared in three games this season, logging 89 snaps on offense and 275 on special teams. He's carried the ball three times for just six yards.

  • Malik Davis: Signs with Dallas' practice squad

    The Cowboys signed Davis to their practice squad Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Davis was not claimed by another team after Dallas waived him Tuesday, and now he's back with the club's practice squad. With Javonte Williams and rookie fifth-rounder Jaydon Blue currently the only healthy running backs on the 53-man roster, Davis again could become a candidate for elevation after the Cowboys' bye in Week 10.

  • Malik Davis: Gets waived

    Dallas waived Davis on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    The Cowboys signed Davis to their active roster Monday ahead of their game versus the Cardinals, but now he's headed to waivers just one day later. He could be a candidate to join back up with Dallas' practice squad if he's not claimed by another team during the current waiver period.

  • Cowboys' Malik Davis: Active Monday while Blue isn't

    Davis is active but fellow RB Jaydon Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

    Davis was signed from the practice squad to the active roster Monday, and now he and Hunter Luepke will be the options at running back behind starter Javonte Williams. Blue lost a fumble during the Cowboys' Week 8 loss at Denver, so this move appears to be related to performance. In any case, Davis has just two carries for three yards in two previous appearances this season, and he's unlikely to carve too much into Williams' workhorse role Week 9.

  • Cowboys' Malik Davis: Signed ahead of Monday's game

    The Cowboys signed Davis off their practice squad prior to Monday's game versus the Cardinals.

    Davis was eligible to elevated from the Cowboys' practice squad one more time, but Dallas instead elected to make him a permanent member of the 53-man roster ahead of Monday's contest. He'll provide depth at running back behind Javonte Williams and Jaydon Blue but is likely to provide most of his contributions on the Cowboys' special-teams units.

  • Cowboys' Malik Davis: Heads back to practice squad

    Davis reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Davis was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 44-24 loss to the Broncos, logging two carries for three yards while playing four offensive snaps. Additionally, he was on the field for 20 snaps with the special-teams unit. Davis can be elevated once more this season before the team would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

  • Cowboys' Malik Davis: Joins active roster

    Davis was elevated to the Cowboys' active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    With Miles Sanders (knee/ankle) and Phil Mafah (shoulder) both on injured reserve, Davis' elevation provides the Cowboys with running-back depth. The Florida product was active for Dallas' Week 7 win over the Commanders, failing to record an offensive stat across 19 total snaps (18 on special teams, one on offense). He's expected to play a similar role in the Week 8 matchup against the Broncos on Sunday.

  • Malik Davis: Back with practice squad

    Davis reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Davis was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 44-22 win over Washington, failing to record any stats on his only offensive snap. The running back was also on the field for 18 snaps on special teams, recording two tackles on kick coverage and one on punt coverage. Davis is eligible to be elevated two more times before he'd have to be officially signed to the active roster.

  • Cowboys' Malik Davis: Elevated for Week 7

    The Cowboys elevated Davis from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Davis opted to stay in Dallas as a member of the team's practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp. He'll be elevated to the active roster for the first time this season, and he will provide help on special teams and backfield depth behind Javonte Williams and Jaydon Blue for Sunday's NFC East tilt against the Commanders.

  • Malik Davis: Joins Cowboys' practice squad

    Davis was signed to the Cowboys' practice squad Wednesday.

    Davis cleared waivers after being let go Tuesday, and he will now stick around Dallas as a member of the team's practice unit. The running back didn't appear in a regular-season game with the team in 2024 after three appearances the year before, so he'll look to earn an elevation again in 2025.

  • Malik Davis: Hits waivers

    The Cowboys waived Davis on Tuesday.

    Davis began the offseason signing a reserve/future deal with the Cowboys, then after being cut by the team late April, he got a chance to re-sign early August and provide preseason depth. He spent time on the team's practice squad last season and could be a candidate to re-sign there again.
