Cowboys Put Guard Rob Jones on Injured Reserve, Sign RB Malik Davis to Add Depth
VENTURA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AUG 8 – The Cowboys re-signed Malik Davis to address multiple running back injuries and compensate for Rob Jones’ season-ending neck injury, ensuring roster depth for the 2025 preseason.
On August 8, 2025, the Dallas Cowboys re-signed Malik Davis, reportedly to address injury woes, according to Patrik Walker.
Following a series of injuries, the Cowboys faced depth challenges after Rob Jones was placed on injured reserve Friday and Miles Sanders, Jaydon Blue, and Deuce Vaughn suffered injuries.
Having appeared in 13 games during the 2022 and 2023 seasons, Malik Davis, a running back, spent two years on the Cowboys’ practice squad.
Given the injuries at running back, Malik Davis could play in the preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday, providing support to stabilize the Cowboys' running game.
The Cowboys aim to prepare for challenges by adding Malik Davis to take Rob Jones’ roster spot before the preseason.
