Troy Hambrick could run behind this line ...R.E.L.A.X.

Wait till you see Ryan run behind this line...Ryan is the best pure runner we have on the roster.

And most injured. Dude has played in 5 games since 2011. He can't be counted on at all.

The staff is getting an early indication of what to be on the lookout for, as if they haven't already suspected it.
They've already made a move to get a good runner in Seastrunk, although his pass blocking and pass receiving out of the backfield are highly suspect. Can he be coached up to improve those deficiencies? We'll see.
In the meantime, the other two are riding their stationary bikes. Sheesh.

I have read it was strained. Only concern I have is the same concern when Miles Austin was here, some guys after they have issues with Hamstring it seem to continually pop up. you could almost bank on Miles having a pulled hamstring at some point in the season and it has been that way with McFadden.

Wasn't that way in college....he has played 38 games the past 3 years...2 less that Murray.....he will be fine..

I hope he is but this is not college. Miles and many other players once they start getting hamstring problems they tend not to go away. Murray injury were not hamstring related so trying to compare one type of injury to another is not the same. For whatever reason hamstrings tend to rear it's ugly head more so on some than others and looking at McFadden pro career he has been dealing on and off with hamstrings though out his career.

Same here, Believe me not hoping he has any more hamstring issues it is just a type of injury that seems to pop up for some more than others. When you see it happening multiple time in a players career much like Austin.

He's had chronic hammy issues for a couple years now. I just saw him racing Austin on the stationary bike...

I misread that as "racing around Austin on a stationary bike" and thought, yeah, that probably is hard on your hamstrings!

Some of you almost seem giddy that he's hurt so you can prove your point about him being broken down and unreliable and washed up.

Myself I'm hoping for the best, I can't ignore the history of his injuries no more than I can't ignore that of Lee but I certainly hope both can have healthy and productive season for the Cowboys.
The fact McFadden is dealing with a strained Hamstring in of itself is not a big concern the fact he has had several hamstring problems through out his career does make it concern.

I agree completely with you here. I hope McFadden is 'all-world' this year, but his track record and injury history gives me reasons for concern. And while I know "it's only OTA's", the player has a history of injury and specifically, injury to his hamstrings.

Rather than reading about him already missing time, I would much rather read about how impressive he's been and how hard he's coming after the starting job.

Hearing otherwise is a disappointment to me.

Same here, not throwing in the towel on him but I have seen too often where players with a history of hamstring continue to have problems with hamstring issues. Heck Miles tried many different routines and workouts, diet and still the hamstring issues would continue to jump up and bite him. However Miles did have an all world season during that time, who knows maybe the football gods will look down on McFadden so that he can show his talents.
