The Cowboys announced earlier this week that running back Tyler Goodson will miss multiple weeks due to knee and ankle injuries. Further clarification on Saturday confirmed he will be sidelined for at least the next four games.
Goodson was placed on injured reserve as part of a series of roster adjustments the Cowboys made ahead of their Sunday matchup against the 49ers. The moves also saw running back Israel Abanikanda elevated from the practice squad to join Javonte Williams in the backfield.
Cornerback Derion Kendrick was also elevated for Sunday’s contest. Meanwhile, Joey Porter Jr. and DaRon Bland are both listed as questionable.
Additional roster moves included the Cowboys waiving defensive end Tyrus Wheat, signing tight end James Mitchell off the practice squad, and activating defensive tackle Jonathan Bullard from injured reserve.
