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.
