The Dallas Cowboys announced a roster move on Saturday, Nov. 14, involving running back Tyler Goodson.
Goodson, who is dealing with ankle and knee injuries, has been placed on the Reserve/Injured list, according to Yahoo Sports.
This transaction sidelines the player for a minimum of four weeks, as reported by USA TODAY.
To bolster their depth following the injury, the organization opted to make a corresponding change to their active roster.
The team successfully signed tight end James Mitchell from their practice squad to the 53-man roster, per NFL.com.
While the team confirmed the signing, the specific financial terms of the contract were not disclosed, according to the outlets.
The move comes as the team looks to adjust its personnel during the final stretch of the season.
Goodson had been a part of the running back rotation before the medical concerns required his placement on the injured reserve list.
The addition of Mitchell provides the Cowboys with extra support at the tight end position while they navigate the current injury situation.
The team has not provided further updates regarding the expected recovery timeline for Goodson beyond the mandatory four-week minimum stay on the list.
League updates confirmed the move was finalized on Saturday as part of the team’s ongoing weekly roster management.
The Cowboys remain focused on maintaining their roster depth as they prepare for upcoming games in the current NFL season.
Fans and fantasy managers will monitor the situation closely to see how the backfield rotation evolves in the absence of the injured running back.
The club has officially processed the paperwork to ensure both the placement of the injured player and the promotion of the practice squad athlete were completed in accordance with league regulations.
