Davis was spotted at Friday’s practice in Oxnard. The Cowboys also placed Rob Jones on injured reserve, officially ending his season before it began. The veteran offensive lineman broke a bone in his neck during a training camp practice in July. He was expected to miss 2-3 months.

Rob Jones was considered a starting-caliber piece of veteran depth along the OL. Now gone for the year, his roster spot goes to a returning RB.

With rookie Jaydon Blue expected to miss Saturday's preseason opener against the Rams with a heel bruise, the Cowboys needed insurance at running back.
