Jerry Jones has spoken about the Cowboys' injury situation and the opening game. He was lamenting a season-ending hip injury to running back Malik Davis. Malik Davis needs a procedure and will be placed on injured reserve. The front office's answer was to sign Israel Abanikanda off the practice squad.
Jones gave an optimistic view on Tyler Smith making a swift recovery. Before the game against the Giants, Jones wanted a one-point win. He also felt excitement over seeing how the squad answers questions.
