The famous Malik Davis Latest on Dallas Cowboys running back, Davis was being elevated before Sunday’s game against the Bears with Ezekiel Elliott being listed as doubtful.
The 23-year-old will be making his NFL regular season debut. Tony Pollard figures to see the bulk of the carries if Elliott is unable to suit up Sunday.
Davis was one of two undrafted rookie running backs the Cowboys signed, along with Harvard’s Aaron Shampklin. While the top of the depth chart is certainly occupied by Ezekiel Elliot and Tony Pollard, there could be competition for the third spot behind the top two guys.
Both Shampklin and Davis, as well as Rico Dowdlem and JaQuan Hardy all have seen significant reps during the offseason to state their cases. The pedigree is there with Davis during his time in Florida but could also see time on the practice squad to expand his game.
