Miles Sanders Could Miss "a Couple of Days" with Knee Injury

Saturday, August 2, 3:25 PM

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said that running back Miles Sanders (knee) could miss a couple of days with a left knee bruise, but that the team does not have a lot of concern about the injury. Sanders has been out of action since Thursday, and it appears as though he'll miss the early part of the upcoming week as well. The veteran running back signed with Dallas in March after spending the past two seasons with the Carolina Panthers. In 11 games (two starts) for Carolina in 2024, Sanders recorded 353 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns on 79 total touches. He's competing with fellow free-agent signee Javonte Williams and fifth-round rookie Jaydon Blue for playing time in the Cowboys' backfield. While there's an opportunity for him to earn a role in Dallas, Sanders probably offers the lowest upside of the three backs and is unlikely to win the job outright.

Still No Timetable for Najee Harris' Return

Tuesday, July 29, 7:13 PM

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said at training camp on Tuesday that there's still no timeline for running back Najee Harris (eye) to return to practice. The Chargers will play their first preseason game on Thursday against the Detroit Lions in the Hall of Fame game, and Harris hasn't been on the practice field at all with his new team after injuring his eye during a fireworks accident back on the Fourth of July. The Chargers are optimistic that Harris will be ready for the start of the 2025 regular season in early September, but with him missing all this crucial practice time, the odds of rookie first-rounder Omarion Hampton seizing lead-back work increases each day Harris is absent. The former Steelers RB has been consistent so far in his NFL career, but he lacks big-play ability and could be working behind Hampton all year.
