Dallas Cowboys running back Malik Davis is focused on building off his impressive performance during the Christmas Day game against the Washington Commanders. Although Davis sustained an eye injury during that match, he is eager to participate in the team”s season finale against the New York Giants.
In the game against the Commanders, Davis suffered an eye injury when a defender yanked his facemask, and another player tackled him, causing his helmet to impact his eye. Despite wearing a clear visor on his helmet, the incident left him with a noticeable bruise.
Davis has transitioned from spending time on the practice squad to becoming the primary backup to Javonte Williams. “Honestly, it”s never about proving anything to others,” Davis stated. “It”s about showing myself and my teammates that I am who I say I am. Their opinions matter to me the most.” This mindset reflects his commitment to earning the trust of his teammates and coaches.
Brian Schottenheimer, the Cowboys” offensive coordinator, provided an update on Davis”s condition, noting, “You saw Malik”s shiner. He”s dealing with a few things. Anytime you rush for 100 yards in such a physical league, you”re going to feel sore.” Schottenheimer mentioned that the training room was busy, indicating that several players were dealing with injuries as the regular season winds down.
The Cowboys are expected to field their healthiest players in the upcoming game, and Davis is hopeful that he will be among them. As he prepares for the Giants, his focus remains on showcasing his abilities and contributing to the team”s success.
