Cowboys RB Malik Davis out with a hip injury. Giants WR Malik Nabers is questionable

Dallas Cowboys running back Malik Davis will miss the upcoming season opener against the New York Giants due to a hip injury sustained during practice on Friday. The injury has been deemed significant by the team, with Malik Davis potentially sidelined for multiple games. Giants' wide receiver Malik Nabers is listed as questionable for the game, having previously recovered from ACL surgery in his right knee.

Nabers has been actively participating in practice drills and contact sessions over the past month and has been given the final say on his participation. Cowboys COO Stephen Jones expressed concern over Davis' potential absence, hinting at the possibility of additional injury time. Emari Demercado is expected to start in Davis' place, potentially giving him a bigger role on the team.

Israel Abanikanda is on the Cowboys' practice squad, should further roster adjustments be necessary.
