Malik Davis injury: status and who’s next up
Latest report: Week 2
Malik Davis is not listed on the latest weekly injury report. He last carried a game designation in Week 1 (out, hip).
Being absent from a report is not confirmation that a player is healthy; teams report only what league rules require.
Where Malik Davis fits in the Dallas Cowboys backfield
Javonte Williams starts and Emari Demercado is our published next man up. Malik Davis sits further down the room, so his status matters most in a week when one of them is also unavailable.
