Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt is out for the remainder of Sunday night’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, according to the NBC broadcast. Additionally, Cowboys running back Miles Sanders is questionable to return with an ankle injury but will attempt to return.
NBC sideline reporter Melissa Stark provided the update, saying Sanders was working off to the side with team trainers. Dallas has a 16-13 leadwith 8:58 left to play in the third quarter as of this writing.
“Devonte Wyatt, who was injured in the first half and briefly went into the medical tent, he is out of the game with a knee injury,” Stark said. “As for the Cowboys, running back Miles Sanders, we saw him limping to the locker room. Questionable with an ankle injury, but the athletic training staff telling us he’s going to try to give it a go.”
Wyatt, in his fourth NFL season out of Georgia , had recorded just one tackle on the day prior to his injury. He’s a big loss for the Packers up front after entering the game with two sacks and two passes defended on the season already.
Sanders had two carries for eight yards on the evening before his injury. He is in his first season with the Cowboys after previous stops with the Philadelphia Eagles and Carolina Panthers.
