[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'][FONT=verdana,geneva]Felix Jones was back on the field Wednesday at Valley Ranch, practicing for the first time since initially suffering the high-ankle sprain against New England on Oct. 16.

[/FONT][FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'][FONT=verdana,geneva]Jones has missed four straight weeks and in his absence, the Cowboys have apparently found a new starting tailback in rookie DeMarco Murray, who has rushed for 600 yards with Jones out of the lineup.

[/FONT][/FONT][FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'][FONT=verdana,geneva]This week, owner Jerry Jones hinted that Murray would remain the starter with Felix Jones returning to practice, suggesting the rookie is more effective as the workhorse back and a fresher Jones can be more dynamic if the Cowboys use him sporadically in the lineup.

[/FONT][/FONT][FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'][FONT=verdana,geneva]Felix Jones said on Tuesday he’s not worried as much about his own role in the offense, but just trying to get back to 100 percent.

[/FONT][/FONT][FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'][FONT=verdana,geneva]“Really, I’m just worried about being back on the field,” Jones said. “That’s the first thing. Once that happens, we’ll start talking about what’s going on, on the field. Right now I’m just worried about my health and getting on the field. But, DeMarco has done a great job the last few weeks.”

[/FONT][/FONT][FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'][FONT=verdana,geneva]Jones has 63 rushing attempts this year for 253 yards (4.0 yard average) with one touchdown. He did have his best game of the season against Washington, this week’s opponent, when he rushed for 115 yards against the Commanders back on Sept. 26.

[/FONT][/FONT][FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'][FONT=verdana,geneva]Murray has rushed for 674 yards on 100 carries and has three 100-yard games in a four-week span. Jones has three career 100-yard games, including one on the playoffs. [/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']

I'm really looking forward to see how they use Felix now that Murray has shown what a great pickup he was. What a great threat when Murray gets a breather to have Felix come in, not to mention if they put Felix in to return kicks!!

Looking forward to some 2 RB sets, and some designed screens and routes which are designed to allow Felix to attack the flats.

Garrett, get creative.

That would be nice to see.

Great to hear. The healthier the team the better.

I don't think you can ask for a better situation than to have DeMarco and Felix healthy and playing through the stretch run. IMO, their styles will compliment each other and make our offense that much more effective.

That would be nice to see.

yes it would. Wonder if we will see it though?

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Great news. Felix just adds yet another home run threat to this team. He's a threat to take it to the house every time he touches the ball.

Anyone know why Holland wasn't practicing today?

 

[CATCH17]

I just hope he is actually ready and we aren't forcing him out there.

Anyone know why Holland wasn't practicing today?

I think he's just sick, no big deal with him

There's no reason to do that now that Murray has emerged.

Doubt they are forcing Felix back out on the field considering what they've seen from Murray and the running game as a whole.

It may actually be Felix forcing himself back out there, I have faith Felix has confidence in his ability to perform and seeing Demarco have success is only going to fuel him to do the same.

^ (Bold) This is what is most likely true in my opinion. DeMarco Murray has had several very successful starts and Felix Jones is itching to share in some some of that success as well. He has been probably wondering how well he can perform in space at the second and third level as Murray. Competition, as Martellus Bennett ( ) would say, can be a good thing.
