Cowboys make roster move following Miles Sanders\u2019 season-ending injury<\/h3>\n

The Cowboys will activate Jalen Cropper for the Week 6 matchup with the Panthers as the Miles Sanders injury reshapes the roster.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Dallas<\/figure>\n
The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys’ injury report keeps getting longer, with running back\u00a0Miles Sanders now out for the season\u00a0with knee and ankle injuries. With superstar wide receiver\u00a0CeeDee Lamb on the sideline\u00a0as well, the Cowboys have made a roster move, officially elevating wideout Jalen Cropper from the\u00a0practice squad to the active roster.<\/p>\n

\u201cCowboys placed RB Miles Sanders on season-ending injured reserve,\u201d ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported on Saturday. \u201cThey also signed WR Jalen Cropper to their active roster from their practice squad.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Cropper was an unsigned rookie free agent out of Fresno State (where he went by Jalen Moreno-Cropper) in 2023. After not playing as a rookie and getting just one game and 15 snaps in 2024, Cropper has been the player brought in for the Cowboys since Lamb went down in Week 3.<\/p>\n

In his first game this season, a 40-40 overtime tie with the Green Bay Packers, Cropper played four special teams and one offensive snap. In his second appearance, though, he got more involved, with 10 special teams and six offensive snaps. During that field time, the WR returned one punt for eight yards.<\/p>\n

While Cropper is the Cowboys’ roster replacement for Lamb and Sanders, it’s been star by committee for Dak Prescott’s supporting cast. Against the Packers, it was George Pickens who came up huge. The first-year Cowboy had eight catches for 134 yards and two touchdowns in the overtime comeback.<\/p>\n

A week later, against the Jets, WR Ryan Fournoy had six grabs for 114 yards while RB Javonte Williams stepped up with 139 all-purpose yards and two total touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Taking on the 2-3 Carolina Panthers in Week 6, the Cowboys have a real chance to go 2-0-1 in their last three games with Lamb out. That would be huge for a team that is in a dogfight for its division title. A win would put Dallas even in the loss column with the Philadelphia Eagles and either even or ahead of the Washington Commanders, depending on the Week 6 results.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
