What happened: Goodson suffered a knee injury during Dallas's 27-23 win over the Colts but returned to post a career-best 77 rushing yards. Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones announced Monday that the running back is expected to miss time.
Why it matters: The setback leaves Dallas with reduced backfield depth as the 4-5 Cowboys push to stay in NFC playoff contention. It also halts momentum for the fourth-year back following his most productive outing of the season.
By the numbers: Goodson has run 28 times for 86 yards in 2026 through 6 games. Dallas is 4-5 through 9 games, while Indianapolis stands at 2-7 after five consecutive losses.
What to watch: The Cowboys will monitor Goodson's practice status this week ahead of their upcoming schedule.
