Cowboys RB Malik Davis expected to miss time with “pretty serious” hip injury

Sep 11, 2026

Cowboys chief operating officer Stephen Jones said on 105.3 "The Fan" on Friday that Davis had a "pretty serious" injury and could be out for a while.

"Unfortunately, I think he's looking at a pretty serious injury that could take him out for some period of time," Jones said. "We don't have the final details, we'll know more, but certainly so disappointed for Malik. Obviously tough for our team, but like anything it's next man up."

Fantasy Impact:

Williams loses the primary threat to his workload and could now handle more passing-down and change-of-pace work in addition to his established early-down role. Demercado becomes the immediate backup and a deep-league contingency stash, while Abanikanda will likely be elevated for Sunday. Davis can be dropped in most redraft leagues while the Cowboys determine the full extent of his injury.

Bears sign RB D’Andre Swift to three-year extension

Sources: RB D’Andre Swift and the Chicago Bears have reached agreeement on a 3-year, $33.75 million extension that includes $27.5M guaranteed. This is now Swift’s third NFL contract. Trevon Smith and David Mulugheta of Athletes First and the Bears just wrapped up the deal with the regular season’s start looming.

Related Players: Kyle Monangai, Roschon Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

The extension does not alter Swift’s immediate outlook, but the guaranteed money reinforces his position atop Chicago’s backfield beyond 2026. Monangai can still earn a complementary role, though the deal creates a considerably higher long-term obstacle to his emergence as the Bears’ lead back.

Bears WR Rome Odunze questionable for Week 1

Rome Odunze is officially questionable with a calf injury after remaining limited throughout the practice week. The receiver said he is “ready to go,” although Bears head coach Ben Johnson acknowledged the team could exercise caution early in a long season.

Fantasy Impact:

Odunze appears more likely than not to play, but three consecutive limited practices leave some risk of a restricted workload or aggravation. He is a volatile flex at his current ranking. An absence would concentrate Chicago’s passing game around Burden and Loveland, with Raymond, Thomas, and Walker competing for the vacated receiver reps.

Saints HC Kellen Moore: Alvin Kamara “ready to go” for Week 1

Alvin Kamara is officially questionable for Sunday’s opener against Detroit, but he progressed from limited practices Wednesday and Thursday to full participation Friday. Moore subsequently described the veteran running back as “ready to go.”

Related Players: Travis Etienne, Kendre Miller, Audric Estime

Fantasy Impact:

Kamara’s full practice suggests he will play, but his long layoff and uncertain initial workload make him extremely difficult to trust in Week 1 lineups. Etienne is still the clear option in the Saints backfield until proven otherwise.
