"Sanders dealt with a knee issue for a good portion of training camp but played in the first four games, picking up 117 yards on 20 carries. He did not play last week and was not able to finish practice on Wednesday. According to multiple sources, Sanders will undergo a chondral tissue graft surgery in which pieces of bone and cartilage were transplanted into the affected area to improve the joint function. Cornerback Trevon Diggs had the same surgery last January."
"The Cowboys have relied on Javonte Williams as their main ball carrier with coach Brian Schottenheimer calling him the, "bellcow," this week. He has 447 yards and five touchdowns on 79 carries. Rookie Jaydon Blue, who made his debut last week against the New York Jets, is the No. 2 running back. He had four carries for 7 yards against the Jets, but the Cowboys like his big-play potential."
Miles Sanders requires season-ending surgery on his left knee after dealing with a knee issue through training camp and appearing in the first four games, totaling 117 yards on 20 carries. He did not play last week and was unable to finish practice on Wednesday. The planned procedure is a chondral tissue graft that transplants bone and cartilage to improve joint function, the same surgery Trevon Diggs had last January. Sanders signed a one-year, $1.337 million deal after two seasons with the Carolina Panthers. Javonte Williams has become the primary ball carrier, while Jaydon Blue, Hunter Luepke and Malik Davis provide depth; rookie Phil Mafah remains on injured reserve but is eligible to begin a practice window.
