Miles Sanders - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Leaves SNF with ankle injury Sanders exited Sunday night's game against the Packers with an ankle injury and is questionable to return, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Sanders was injured just before halftime after rushing two times for eight yards, while also adding two catches for 17 yards on two targets. If Sanders is unable to return, Hunter Luepke would likely spell Javonte Williams in the backfield.

Pads stats late in blowout loss Sanders recorded nine carries for 41 yards in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bears. He added three receptions on three targets for 12 yards.

Impact Sanders recorded a season-high nine carries and 12 total touches, though those numbers were inflated by his usage during garbage time. Four of his rushing attempts came on Dallas' final offensive possession, with Joe Milton under center and many of the team's reserve skill-position players earning snaps. Javonte Williams remains the team's clear lead back, with Sanders serving in a change-of-pace role.

Finds end zone Sunday Sanders carried the ball five times for 15 yards and a touchdown and caught both his targets for four yards in Sunday's 40-37 overtime win over the Giants.

Impact Javonte Williams had another big game as the lead back for the Cowboys, but Sanders scored his first TD of the season on a four-yard scamper in the fourth quarter. His usage in the red zone does give him some small bit of fantasy intrigue in deep formats, but as long as Williams remains healthy, Sanders' volume will be limited. Through his first two games with Dallas, he's managed 69 scrimmage yards on 12 touches.

Costly fumble in Week 1 loss Sanders rushed four times for 53 yards, caught his only target for minus-3 yards and lost a fumble in Thursday's 24-20 loss to the Eagles.

Impact Sanders worked in a change-of-pace role behind Javonte Williams, who established himself as the top option in Dallas' remade backfield by rushing 15 times for 54 yards and two touchdowns. Sanders ripped off a 49-yard run in the third quarter but fumbled later on the same drive. Dak Prescott made a touchdown-saving tackle to bail Sanders out to an extent, but that red-zone fumble still proved costly in the four-point loss. Rookie fifth-round pick Jaydon Blue was a healthy scratch Thursday, but any further ball security issues from Sanders could open the door for Blue to usurp the veteran as Williams' backup.

Impact Sanders and company thus won't have to yield reps to Blue, a rookie fifth-round pick, to begin the season, but ultimately the breakdown of reps between Sanders, Williams and Luepke remains to be seen. In his only appearance of the preseason, Sanders mustered 15 yards on seven carries, and he's coming off a career-low 205 rushing yards in 11 regular-season games with the Panthers in 2024, so he doesn't seem to have much utility unless he receives a significant number of touches.

Sidesteps injury report Sanders (shoulder) wasn't listed on the Cowboys' injury report Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Sanders was sidelined for Dallas' third and final exhibition Aug. 22 against the Falcons due to a shoulder injury, but his lack of presence on the team's first practice report of the campaign indicates he's good to go for Week 1. Jaydon Blue (ankle) also wasn't on Monday's report, so the reserve RBs behind Javonte Williams will be available Thursday at Philadelphia.

Tending to shoulder injury Coach Brian Schottenheimer said Sanders didn't play in Friday's 31-13 preseason win against the Falcons due to a shoulder injury, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Sanders missed time early in training camp and the Cowboys' first exhibition due to a bruised knee. He improved enough to suit up last Saturday versus the Ravens en route to seven carries for 15 yards among his 11 offensive snaps. Sanders' injury combined with Jaydon Blue hurting his right ankle Friday leaves Javonte Williams as the sole healthy member of the team's top trio of running backs.

Cowboys RB depth chart: Will Javonte Williams or Miles Sanders emerge as Dallas starter? | Sporting News With the Cowboys' running back job looking wide open, we discuss whether Javonte Williams or Miles Sanders will emerge as the starter.

Seven carries in preseason debut Sanders rushed the ball seven times for 15 yards in Saturday's 31-13 preseason loss to the Ravens.

Impact Sanders had been sidelined by a knee injury for a long stretch of training camp, so his ability to make his preseason debut was a positive. He started the game with Javonte Williams resting and appeared on two offensive possessions. The results were far from noteworthy, but there should be some clarity to come in the next few weeks regarding the running back depth chart in Dallas now that Sanders can fully participate in team activities.

Takes part in team drills Sanders participated in team drills Wednesday for the first time in more than a week, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.

Impact The veteran running back returned to practice Tuesday after missing time with a knee issue, and he was a full participant Wednesday. Sanders remains behind Javonte Williams on the Cowboys' backfield depth chart, and he was being pushed by rookie Jaydon Blue (heel) earlier in camp before the 2025 fifth-round pick was sidelined last week. Given that he only signed a one-year, $1.34 million contract with the team back in March, Sanders isn't a lock to have a significant role in the offense.
