Cowboys Lose Miles Sanders for Season After Knee, Ankle Injuries

A chondral tissue graft on his left knee is expected, reshaping a thin backfield behind Javonte Williams.

Overview

  • Executive vice president Stephen Jones announced on 105.3 The Fan that Sanders will be placed on season-ending injured reserve.
  • ESPN reports Sanders is set for a chondral tissue graft on his left knee, the same procedure cornerback Trevon Diggs had in January.
  • Rookie Jaydon Blue moves to the No. 2 role after his Week 5 debut, backing up starter Javonte Williams.
  • Sanders logged 117 rushing yards and one touchdown on 20 carries across four games, then missed Week 5 and exited Wednesday’s practice early.
  • With Phil Mafah on injured reserve and only Hunter Luepke and practice-squad back Malik Davis in reserve, Dallas could evaluate veteran options before the Nov. 4 trade deadline.
