Cowboys COO Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan Dallas that Davis (hip) suffered a "pretty serious injury" at Friday's practice that "could take him out for some period of time."

Davis required a cart to leave the practice field Friday, was diagnosed with a hip injury and then promptly ruled out on the Cowboys' final Week 1 practice report. As long as Davis is out, Emari Demercado, Hunter Luepke and practice-squad member Israel Abanikanda will the options to fill out the backfield behind No. 1 RB Javonte Williams.

Allen (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.

Allen missed about three weeks of practice before returning Thursday and Friday as a limited participant. The Jaguars have Ameer Abdullah on hand to fill in as a competent passing-down specialist if Allen isn't active ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Love (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Chargers, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Love has been tending to a high-ankle sprain that he suffered preseason Week 1, and nearly one month later, he was able to log three consecutive limited practices and set himself up for his pro debut. Ultimately, the Cardinals may not make a call on Love's status until roughly 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, which was corroborated by coach Mike LaFleur, who told Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com on Friday that Love will be a game-time decision. In the end, an active Love on Sunday would share the backfield with Tyler Allgeier.

Croskey-Merritt (groin) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Philadelphia.

Croskey-Merritt had his practice reps restricted during the entirety of Week 1 prep due to a lower-body injury that stems back to an Aug. 22 practice. Despite those listed limitations, he'll be available to the Commanders backfield this weekend, likely in some sort of timeshare with Rachaad White.

Davis won't play Sunday at the Giants after suffering a hip injury at Friday's practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Davis was carted off the practice field Friday and is undergoing further tests to determine the severity of the injury. Considering he's already been ruled out for Week 1, there could be cause for concern that a multi-week absence is in store for Davis, but as long as he's sidelined Emari Demercado, Hunter Luepke and practice-squad member Israel Abanikanda will be the potential players available for RB reps behind starter Javonte Williams.

The Bears and Swift agreed to a three-year, $33.75 million contract Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

As a member of the Bears, Swift went for 1,345 yards from scrimmage and six total TDs in 2024 and 1,386 such yards and 10 touchdowns in 2025, which was enough for the team to commit to him through the 2029 campaign. He'll still have to contend with Kyle Monangai out of the backfield for the foreseeable future, but Swift has proved capable of heavy workloads, having averaged 235 touches per season over the last three years.

Davis sustained a hip injury at Friday's practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Davis was carted off the practice field Friday. The severity of the issue isn't known, but Friday's injury report will give a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday at the Giants. Emari Demercado and practice-squad member Israel Abanikanda are the candidates for RB reps behind Javonte Williams if Davis is unable to play this weekend.

Davis (undisclosed) needed a cart to get off the practice field Friday, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

On cut-down day, Davis was the clear winner of the No. 2 RB role in Dallas after the team cut both Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah. If Davis' current health concern impacts his availability for Sunday's game at the Giants, Emari Demercado or practice-squad member Israel Abanikanda would be the candidates for backfield work that doesn't go to starter Javonte Williams.

Coach Kellen Moore said Friday that Kamara (knee) will be questionable for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Kamara suffered an MCL sprain during a joint practice with the Cowboys on Aug. 18 that initially was slated to sideline him for at least one month. While Kamara was able to practice in a limited capacity during Week 1 prep, his status for Sunday seemingly will come down to a game-time decision. If Kamara is inhibited or sidelined this weekend, Kendre Miller would be the Saints running back to receive complementary work behind starter Travis Etienne.

Johnson (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game at Houston, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Johnson just returned to practice Thursday after missing a month, but head coach Joe Brady said Friday that the veteran running back "doesn't need a lot of the physical work to go do his job." If Johnson ends up inactive, it could push more snaps and targets toward starter James Cook, in addition to benefitting backup Ray Davis. The Bills have typically deployed Johnson as a passing-down specialist.
