Cowboys' Tyler Goodson: Dealing with ACL, MCL sprains
Goodson sustained ACL and MCL sprains in his knee during Sunday's 27-23 win over the Colts, a source tells Todd Archer of ESPN.com.
Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer already confirmed Monday that Goodson would be sidelined for multiple weeks due to the injury, and now that details have emerged regarding the severity of the issue, it's conceivable that the 26-year-old could be headed for injured reserve. The loss of Goodson leaves the Cowboys with no healthy running backs on the active roster beyond starter Javonte Williams, but team owner Jerry jones said that the team plans to sign a free-agent back Tuesday, per Archer. Dallas also has Israel Abanikanda and Jashaun Corbin as backfield options on the practice squad.

Cowboys' Tyler Goodson: Set for multi-week absence
Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Monday that Goodson will miss "multiple weeks" after spraining his knee in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Colts, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Goodson will likely undergo further testing as the Cowboys look to hone in on a more definitive timeline for his return, but Schottenheimer's comments suggest that the reserve running back can safely be ruled out for at least Week 10 against the 49ers and Week 11 versus the Titans. Despite succumbing to the knee injury, the 25-year-old delivered his best performance of the season Sunday, finishing the day with 77 yards on 12 carries. The Cowboys currently have no other healthy running backs on the roster beyond starter Javonte Williams, but one or both of practice-squad members Israel Abanikanda and Jashaun Corbin will be candidates for elevation to the 53-man roster while Goodson is sidelined.

Cowboys' Tyler Goodson: Likely out for Week 10
Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Monday that Goodson is expected to miss time after injuring his knee in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Colts, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Goodson has emerged as the Cowboys' clear No. 2 back in recent games and turned in his best performance of the season against his former Colts squad in Week 9, carrying 12 times for 77 yards while failing to corral his lone target. The running back injured his knee at some point along the way, and though he was able to check back into the contest, Goodson may have been running on adrenaline. He'll presumably undergo further testing before the Cowboys provide an update on the extent of his injury, but with Goodman on track to miss at least next Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Dallas could turn to practice-squad members Israel Abanikanda and Jashaun Corbin to serve in backup roles behind lead back Javonte Williams.

Cowboys' Tyler Goodson: Strong showing against former squad
Goodson rushed 12 times for 77 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Cowboys' 27-23 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Facing the team for which he played two-plus seasons from 2023-25, Goodson put together a highly efficient performance as a complementary option to Javonte Williams. Goodson's carry and yardage totals were both season highs, as was his average of 6.4 yards per carry. The Iowa product is seeing steady usage in a run-heavy Cowboys offense, and he's logged 29 carries over the last three games heading into a Week 10 home matchup against the 49ers.

Cowboys' Tyler Goodson: Returns to game
Goodson (knee) has returned to Sunday's game against the Colts, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
Goodson returned in the third quarter of Sunday's contest and has logged an additional three carries for 26 yards. The running back heads into the fourth quarter with 10 carries for 70 yards, setting a new career high as he continues to break meaningful runs against his former team.

Cowboys' Tyler Goodson: Exits with knee injury
Goodson (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Goodson exited the second quarter of Sunday's contest with a knee issue. The running back had seven carries for 44 yards before exiting. Javonte Williams is the sole remaining running back active for the Cowboys.

Cowboys' Tyler Goodson: Held in check Sunday
Goodson took seven carries for 14 yards and caught both of his two targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss versus the Cardinals.
Dallas wasn't really able to get anything going on the ground in Week 8, totaling just 93 rushing yards on 39 carries. Just like the offense as a whole, Goodson found a bit more success in the passing game, and he posted his best receiving total since back in 2024. As long as starter Javonte Williams remains available, though, Goodson should stay in a change-of-pace role.

Cowboys' Tyler Goodson: Logs 10 carries during Monday's win
Goodson turned 10 carries into 38 yards and returned two kickoffs for 42 yards during the Cowboys' 38-21 win over the Eagles on Monday.
The Cowboys relied heavily on the run game Monday, and Goodson saw a season-high 10 rushes as a result, although that was still well behind the workload of lead back Javonte Williams, who turned 25 carries into a career-high 155 yards and a score. Goodson nearly found the end zone himself after returning a 91-yard kickoff to the house in the second quarter, only for the touchdown to be nullified by a holding penalty on Dallas. He's limited to RB2 duties for the time being but would step into an elevated role if Williams were to ever miss time. The Cowboys will head back home for Week 8 against the Cardinals, whose defense ranks 23rd in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game (126.4).
