Devonte Wyatt, Miles Sanders injury update: SNF broadcast reveals status of Packers DL, Cowboys RB

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 lead with 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.

Micah Parsons injury update: NBC broadcast gives unfortunate news on Packers star

Unfortunately for the Packers, Wyatt wasn’t their only defender to go down with injury Sunday night. Linebacker Micah Parsons also had to exit the game late in the third quarter.

The injury occurred just prior to Dallas driving down the field for a go-ahead touchdown. So Parsons’ potential absence looms large.

The NBC broadcast crew provided a brief update on the situation. Sideline reporter Melissa Stark chimed in with the news.

“Yeah, Mike (Tirico), before this drive a member of the athletic training staff came over and had a conversation with Micah Parsons,” Stark said. “We saw him come over holding his low back. And then he just went into the medical tent. Was not happy about it. And the independent concussion specialist just came out of the tent, and we’ll continue to monitor the situation.”

That means the Packers could potentially be without two of their top defenders down the stretch of this game if Parsons is unable to return. That will only make navigating a comeback all the more difficult.
