Cowboys place Sanders on IR promote Campbell sign Cropper vs Panthers

The Dallas Cowboys will visit the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 12, at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., with kickoff scheduled for 1 p.m. Eastern, the team said. Ahead of the Week 6 game, the Cowboys announced a significant roster change: running back Miles Sanders has been placed on the Reserve/Injured list, the club’s public relations account said, and wide receiver Jalen Cropper was signed from the practice squad to the active roster. The team also elevated receiver Parris Campbell from the practice squad for the game, while cornerback Caelen Carson and wide receiver Jonathan Mingo remain on the Reserve/DFR list.

Dallas enters the matchup at 2-2 after a 37-22 victory over the New York Jets last week. Quarterback Dak Prescott has been a steadying force this season, completing better than 71 percent of his passes for roughly 1,356 yards, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions. Running back Javonte Williams has contributed effectively on the ground, with about 447 rushing yards and five touchdowns on the season, and figures to see a larger role following Sanders’s move to injured reserve.

The Panthers are 2-3 and arrive riding the momentum of a dramatic 27-24...
