Murray has an MCL sprain

[fifaguy]

How about a Cedric Benson, Michael Turner, Beanie Wells or Kevin Smith on the free agent market?

was just thinking this. Especially if its going to be for more than a week.. why not kick some tires and try for a vet minimum maybe? Or sammy morris.

 

[Cowboys22]

They will tell us 2-4 weeks and 7 weeks from now he will be a last minute inactive.

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

Personally, I think Randle is up for the task.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

We could put Murray on the IR and then call him back. Cowboys can do this once.

Then we'd still have 5 rbs.

Yeah I would consider bringing someone in because let's all be honest that Murray may not be 100% the rest of the season or could get hurt again. Not sure I want to go forward with just Randle, Tanner, and Dunbar?

 

[Boyzmamacita]

When will the Cowboys luck turn for the better? Guys coming up lame with nobody touching them. Weird, freaky stuff. I hope they dig deep and find a way to win until everybody comes back healthy.

 

[Prossman]

We'll see what Randle has for a full game but now would you call Jax and offer a 5th or 6th for MJD?

yes , pocket Hercules would be a nice fit.

 

[fifaguy]

and Dunbar is still hurt right? haven't seen enough in Randle & Tanner to be confident in the run game

 

[dallasdave]

Then we'd still have 5 rbs.

While he is on the IR he won't count against the 53 man roster. Then cut someone when you bring him back.

Personally, I think Randle is up for the task.

We got a look at him tonight, and he froze a couple times behind the LOS

Too much youth there with those 3. I think having 1 veteran around could help them now and in the future

 

[TrailBlazer]

Hell line Dwayne Harris up back there and let him run

 

[RamziD]

I

Personally, I think Randle is up for the task.

I agree. He ran well when the line gave him some room.

 

[Tabascocat]

Dallas doesn't run enough to warrant an outside acquisition. Just go with what we have until Murray is gtg. I think Randle can fill the void, especially after a week of mental preparation.

 

[Cowboy Brian]

Make the call, Jerry. #MJD

 

[Hoov]

Personally, I think Randle is up for the task.

Me too. I think he will have a good game against Philly.

 

[Doomsay]

Personally, I think Randle is up for the task.

Can't break a tackle

 

[Szczepanik]

Without Murray we do not have any resemblance of a run game.

I don't care what you guys say about Tanner, Randle, and Dunbar.

We need to grab at least a veteran starter that runs tough. Turner or trade for MJD.

Even though we don't run as much as most of us would like Murray is still a threat in both the running game and passing game. I think they should look for a veteran because I think we'd be almost completely one dimensional with what we have. Just my two cents

Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Sprain

The MCL provides stability to the inside of the knee and is often injured when a player is hit on the outside of the knee, stretching the inside of the knee joint on the opposite side of the hit. Grade 1, 2 and 3 injuries are all commonly seen in football players. Many players, particularly offensive linemen, choose to wear braces to help prevent MCL injuries.

MCL injuries, including complete tears, are allowed to heal without surgery. Rarely, very severe Grade 3 injuries or symptoms of chronic instability necessitate surgical reconstruction. Recovery and return to play depends on the severity of strain. Players with Grade 1 strains may be able to play with a brace and not miss time. Most players with a Grade 3 MCL tear will miss six weeks while the ligament fully heals.
