Week 1 inactives for Cowboys
Heading into their Week 1 Sunday Night Football matchup at MetLife Stadium against the New York Giants, the Dallas Cowboys have solidified their roster status. Running back Malik Davis was ruled out as the lone player on Dallas with an official injury designation, prompting the franchise to bolster depth by signing running back Israel Abanikanda to the active roster.
Furthermore, the Cowboys opted against elevating any players from the practice squad for the opener, while also benching a wide receiver who stood out during the preseason.
On the opposing sideline, the Giants received positive news as standout wide receiver Malik Nabers was cleared and listed among the active players for the season-opening contest. New York did designate one unexpected player as inactive alongside the rest of their scratched personnel.
