Emari Demercado Set for Expanded Role in Cowboys Backfield

Dallas Cowboys running back Emari Demercado is positioned for an expanded backfield role following a serious hip injury to backup Malik Davis. Claimed off waivers on August 30 after his release from Kansas City, Demercado reunites with offensive coordinator Klayton Adams, under whom he averaged 9.3 yards per carry with Arizona in 2024. His strong pass blocking and scheme familiarity make him a prime candidate to lighten starter Javonte Williams' workload.
