Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Monday that Goodson is expected to miss time after injuring his knee in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Colts, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Goodson has emerged as the Cowboys' clear No. 2 back in recent games and turned in his best performance of the season against his former Colts squad in Week 9, carrying 12 times for 77 yards while failing to corral his lone target. The running back injured his knee at some point along the way, and though he was able to check back into the contest, Goodson may have been running on adrenaline. He'll presumably undergo further testing before the Cowboys provide an update on the extent of his injury, but with Goodman on track to miss at least next Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Dallas could turn to practice-squad members Israel Abanikanda and Jashaun Corbin to serve in backup roles behind lead back Javonte Williams.

Cowboys' Tyler Goodson: Strong showing against former squad
Rotowire
Goodson rushed 12 times for 77 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Cowboys' 27-23 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Facing the team for which he played two-plus seasons from 2023-25, Goodson put together a highly efficient performance as a complementary option to Javonte Williams. Goodson's carry and yardage totals were both season highs, as was his average of 6.4 yards per carry. The Iowa product is seeing steady usage in a run-heavy Cowboys offense, and he's logged 29 carries over the last three games heading into a Week 10 home matchup against the 49ers.

Cowboys' Tyler Goodson: Held in check Sunday
Rotowire
Goodson took seven carries for 14 yards and caught both of his two targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss versus the Cardinals.
Dallas wasn't really able to get anything going on the ground in Week 8, totaling just 93 rushing yards on 39 carries. Just like the offense as a whole, Goodson found a bit more success in the passing game, and he posted his best receiving total since back in 2024. As long as starter Javonte Williams remains available, though, Goodson should stay in a change-of-pace role.

Rotowire
Goodson (groin) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Goodson had two carries for six yards in Sunday's win at Tennessee.
Goodson made his regular-season debut after missing the first two games due to an elbow injury. He played four snaps on offense compared to eight snaps for DJ Giddens but got one more carry. It's not clear who is Taylor's primary backup as Goodson could be used in more passing situations, but neither backup is getting much usage as Taylor again got almost all the opportunities (17 carries and four targets) and played on 77 percent of the offense's snaps.
