Cowboys Add Kendre Miller After Tyler Goodson Injury

Dallas added Miller to its practice squad after Goodson was injured in the Cowboys’ Week 9 game against Indianapolis. Goodson is expected to miss multiple weeks with sprains to his MCL and ACL; his father described the injury as “just a sprain.” The team has not determined whether Goodson will go on injured reserve.

With Goodson out, Javonte Williams was the only healthy running back on Dallas’ active roster. Practice-squad running backs Israel Abanikanda and Jashaun Corbin were also available. Goodson had rushed for 77 yards on 12 carries against his former team, the Colts, before the injury.

Miller, a 2023 third-round pick out of TCU, spent his first four NFL seasons with New Orleans. Across 27 games, he recorded 656 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 184 carries, along with 29 catches for 217 yards. His most productive season was his rookie year, when he had 156 rushing yards and 273 yards from scrimmage.

The 6-foot, 220-pound back has missed 29 games during his NFL career, including 10 last season after tearing his ACL. Goodson had appeared in seven games for Dallas since the team claimed him off waivers in September, totaling 163 rushing yards and 23 receiving yards.
