“The Cowboys placed RB Tyler Goodson on Reserve/Injured and waived OLB Tyrus Wheat on Saturday.

Goodson’s placement on injured reserve means he will miss at least four games. The running back suffered knee and ankle injuries during Dallas’ Week 9 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Wheat’s departure creates another roster opening for the Cowboys.

Bullard returns to the defensive line after recovering from a calf injury. Meanwhile, Mitchell’s promotion gives Dallas another tight end option after Jake Ferguson was ruled out for Sunday’s game. The former Detroit Lions tight end had been on the Cowboys’ practice squad.

Abanikanda and Kendrick received standard game-day elevations. Abanikanda provides additional depth behind starting running back Javonte Williams, while Kendrick adds another option in the secondary.

The Cowboys enter Sunday’s matchup with a 4-5 record after defeating Indianapolis 27-23 in Week 9. They will face a 49ers team that holds a 7-1 record.

Sunday’s game gives Dallas an important opportunity to improve its position in the NFC East. These roster adjustments could help the Cowboys manage several personnel concerns.
