Cowboys running back Miles Sanders’ season is over.
Executive vice president Stephen Jones announced on 105.3 The Fan that the Cowboys will place Sanders on season-ending injured reserve.
Sanders, who has not played since Week 4, tried to practice on Wednesday but quickly left the field.
The Cowboys have listed him with knee and ankle injuries, and Jones did not clarify which injury is ending Sanders’ season.
His absence means rookie Jaydon Blue will step into the No. 2 running back role behind Javonte Williams. Blue made his NFL debut in Sunday’s victory over the Jets, playing 11 offensive snaps and three on special teams.
Blue has four carries for 7 yards.
Sanders finishes his first season with the Cowboys with 20 carries for 117 yards and a touchdown and eight catches for 30 yards. He lost a fumble.
