Cowboys' Malik Davis Carted Off With Hip Injury — Sep 11, 2026Dallas Cowboys running back Malik Davis suffered a hip injury in Friday's practice, leaving his Week 1 status in doubt and thinning the depth behind Javonte Williams. If Davis can’t play, Emari Demercado would become the primary backup, with Israel Abanikanda as a practice-squad option, and teams could consider recalling Jaydon Blue or Phil Mafah if needed.

Priya Raman Demercado as the new backup might work but Abanikanda or a recall could be needed if things get worse.

Blue Jays' playoff push clouded by four new injury concerns — Sep 5, 2026The Toronto Blue Jays, despite a late-season playoff push, face a battered rotation with multiple injuries and troubling updates on several veterans, including Cody Ponce’s distant return, Patrick Corbin’s season-long outlook, Luis Urias’s reinjury, and Jameson Taillon’s likely IL stint after his latest start. Still, they have steadied with series wins over the Royals and others, leaning on resilient performances and minor-depth reinforcements as they chase a playoff berth.

Nicole Hardy Corbin's season basically over and Ponce still a ways out... rotation is held together with tape at this point.
