Cowboys Beat: Early indication DeMarco Murray plays Week 16

Dec 16, 2014

Early thinking is yes, [DeMarco Murray] plays in Week 16].

Fantasy Impact:

It's not an official word from the team but Broaddus does cover the Cowboys. He was asked in a tweet what the early indications are around Cowboys camp regarding Murray playing vs. the Colts. Right now Dallas is just playing wait-and-see with Murray and unfortunately owners must do the same. Injury Expert Russell Manalastas said Monday, "I'm not sure it's realistic to assume Murray will be back from hand surgery this Sunday, but stranger things have happened. The severity of the fracture and what type of procedure they perform will ultimately determine his availability this week and moving forward."

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
