The Dallas Cowboys lost running back Rico Dowdle in free agency after the Carolina Panthers signed him on a one-year, $6.25 million deal. Now the Cowboys have landed a former Panthers’ RB to take Dowdle’s place.

Dallas reached an agreement on a one-year deal with veteran running back Miles Sanders, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler on X. The terms of the contract were not immediately announced.

Sanders was selected in the second round of the 2019 draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. He spent the first four seasons of his career in Philly, becoming the team’s lead rusher. In 2022, Sanders ran for a career-high 1,269 yards and scored 11 touchdowns, en route to a Pro Bowl nod. After the season, he joined the Panthers in free agency on a four-year deal.
