MILES SANDERS NEWS

Back at practice Tuesday Sanders (knee) is participating in practice Tuesday wearing full pads, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Sanders missed roughly two weeks of practice, plus Dallas' preseason opener against the Rams, due to a left knee bruise, but it looks like he's now back in full. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer expressed optimism on Monday that Sanders would be able to suit up for exhibition action Saturday versus Baltimore. Javonte Williams remains the early favorite for Dallas' lead backfield role, but Sanders still has time to make his case for opportunities. Rookie Jaydon Blue (heel) is still not practicing Tuesday.

May be available Saturday Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Monday that he expects Sanders (knee) and fellow running back Jaydon Blue (heel) to see "significant progress" in their recoveries this...

Impact Sanders and Blue were both forced to sit out Dallas' preseason opener against the Rams, but the Cowboys' backfield could be in a healthier spot to face Baltimore on Saturday. Jon Machota of The Athletic reports that Javonte Williams remains in the early lead for the Cowboys' lead running back job, but that nobody has yet emerged as a true favorite for the No. 1 backfield role. If Sanders is able to get healthy in time to put some good preseason reps on tape versus the Ravens, it will assist his chances of carving out a notable role.

Nursing knee bruise Sanders (knee) is not practicing Thursday due to what has been labeled a slight knee bruise, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Sanders' injury is to his left knee, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports, and he's wearing a compression sleeve on that leg Thursday. There are no indications that Sanders is dealing with a significant injury, but the Cowboys figure to take a cautious approach to the 28-year-old's recovery. Jon Machota of The Athletic reports that Sanders has been an early standout at training camp, both as a runner and in the receiving game. He's competing for backfield opportunities with Javonte Williams and rookie fifth-round pick Jaydon Blue.

Looking good early in camp Sanders has stood out the most so far in training camp among the Cowboys' running backs, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact The former Eagle and Panther is competing with fellow free-agent signing Javonte Williams, as well as rookie Jaydon Blue, for snaps and touches in what could be a backfield committee for the Cowboys. Sanders has flashed both as a runner and as a pass-catcher early in camp, but there likely won't be any clarity on how new head coach Brian Schottenheimer will deploy his running backs until deep into the preseason, assuming the picture clears up at all before Week 1.

Taking first-team reps Sanders and Javonte Williams have been getting most of the first-team reps at June minicamp, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Given the alternatives, it's no surprise to see the two free-agent additions handling first-team work, even though both of them averaged less than 4.0 yards per carry in both of the past two seasons. The Cowboys' other running backs right now are rookie fifth-round pick Jaydon Blue, rookie seventh-round pick Phil Mafah and 2023 sixth-rounder Deuce Vaughn. It's anyone's guess how the depth chart might shift before Week 1, with possibilities including a late veteran addition via trade or free agency.
