Free agent running back Miles Sanders plans to sign a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Thursday night.
Financial terms weren't immediately known.
Sanders was released by the Carolina Panthers earlier this week, saving the team $5.225 million against the salary cap.
He now returns to the NFC East, where he spent four seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The agreement comes a day after the Cowboys' leading rusher last year, Rico Dowdle, joined Sanders' former team, the Panthers, on a one-year deal worth $3 million.
