What happened: The Dallas Cowboys brought in free-agent running back Kendre Miller for a visit Tuesday to address backfield depth following an injury to Tyler Goodson. Goodson exited Sunday's 27-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts with sprained ACL and MCL knee ligaments. Miller became available after the New Orleans Saints waived him on Nov. 7.
Why it matters: Dallas sits at 4-5 following Sunday's victory and required immediate backfield reinforcement with Goodson ruled out. Miller previously worked under former Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and Doug Nussmeier, providing schematic familiarity for the offensive staff.
By the numbers: Goodson has run 40 times for 163 yards in 2026 through 7 games for Dallas. Miller ran 47 times for 193 yards and 1 touchdown in 7 games last season (2025) with New Orleans. The Cowboys are 4-5 in 2026 through 9 games.
What to watch: Dallas will evaluate Miller's physical condition before deciding on a contract offer ahead of Week 11 preparations.
