Summary
Dallas Cowboys in crunch mode as backup RB Malik Davis goes down with a serious injury, forcing them to scramble for depth. They’re eyeing waiver pickup Emari Demercado — a proven 100+ carry back averaging 6.5 yards per carry — and promoting Israel Abanikanda from the practice squad. Tony Pollard, their former workhorse who rushed for over 1,000 yards in two straight seasons, remains an option but isn’t a guaranteed fit. The team is also considering veteran Phil Mafah and will hold open tryouts next week. Veteran reporter Mike Fisher says bringing back Pollard would only make sense if Dallas trades for him late in the season, likely for a low draft pick — not a premium asset — and only if the Titans are desperate to move him.
