  "account": "Dallas Cowboys place running back Malik Davis on injured reserve after sustaining a hip injury in practice. The injury requires surgery. Davis had been second to Javonte Williams in the depth chart before the injury. The Cowboys then signed Israel Abanikanda from the practice squad, bringing him onto the active roster. Abanikanda, acquired from the Jacksonville Jaguars, will replace Davis in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the New York Giants.",
