The Dallas Cowboys placed tight end Peyton Hendershot on injured reserve Thursday with an ankle injury.

Hendershot must miss at least the next four games and will be eligible to return in Week 11 at Carolina (Nov. 19).

The Cowboys (3-2) signed tight end Sean McKeon from the practice squad to the 53-man active roster ahead of Monday night's road game against the Los Angeles Chargers (2-2).

Dallas also signed linebacker Rashaan Evans to the practice squad and designated cornerback Nahshon Wright (ankle) to return from injured reserve.

Hendershot, 24, was inactive for the past two games but did not show the progress physically that the Cowboys were looking for.

He has one catch for 3 yards in three games this season after catching 11 passes for 103 yards and two scores in 17 games (two starts) as an undrafted rookie in 2022.
