Cowboys Elevate Ex-Patriots Defender Before Week 15 Vs. Bills

The Dallas Cowboys reportedly are elevating veteran defensive tackle Carl Davis prior to their Week 15 game against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium.

The 31-year-old Davis has yet to play an NFL game this season. He was released by the New England Patriots in August, but New England reportedly had Davis in for a workout Nov. 6.

The Cowboys are elevating DT Carl Davis and RB Malik Davis from the practice squad, per a source. With Johnathan Hankins out Carl Davis’ 335-pound frame is needed. With the expected rain, Cowboys wanted another inside runner in Malik Davis with Tony Pollard, Rico Dowdle.

Following his initial release from the Patriots, Davis signed to the Seahawks practice squad in September before Seattle released him on Halloween. The 6-foot-5, 335-pound veteran then was signed to the Cowboys practice squad in mid-November.
