Cowboys Waive CB Kaiir Elam, Sign RB Malik Davis to Active Roster

Elam’s diminished role behind returning corners set up the move.

Overview

  • Dallas placed Kaiir Elam on waivers on Saturday and filled the roster spot by signing Malik Davis off the practice squad.
  • Davis is slated to be active in Week 12 as the third running back behind Javonte Williams and Jaydon Blue.
  • Elam started seven of 10 games for Dallas and allowed 25 completions for 372 yards and three touchdowns, with opposing passers posting a 105.0 rating when targeting him.
  • Any team claiming Elam would assume roughly $1 million in fully guaranteed salary remaining on his rookie deal.
  • Elam’s snaps fell sharply as Caelen Carson returned and rookie Shavon Revel Jr. debuted, with Dallas leaning on those options plus Reddy Steward while Trevon Diggs remains on injured reserve.
