The Dallas Cowboys have been reshaping the team's roster throughout the Week 10 bye week, largely due to the NFL trade deadline and some major acquisitions to bolster the defensive side of the ball.

Dallas swung a deal to land Cincinnati Bengals team captain and star linebacker Logan Wilson for the discount price of a seventh-round pick, while making one of the biggest splash moves at the deadline by sending a 2026 second-round NFL draft pick and a 2027 first-round pick to the New York Jets in exchange for All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.

Those moves are expected to play long-term dividends for the Cowboys, but they've also made some under-the-radar moves while playing roster gymnastics.

On Friday, the team announced it has reunited with running back Malik Davis, who was waived immediately following the trade deadline to make room for the team's new defensive stars. Davis has been on the team's practice squad since 2022, when he signed in Dallas as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Florida.
