After that, well, it’s murky.

Darren McFadden is finally taking handoffs in practice at training camp for the Dallas Cowboys.

Still, the Cowboys must be careful with their platoon of running backs. No, they can’t replace Murray with anyone that’s out there right now. Consider the Patriots, who just won a Super Bowl with LaGarrette Blount, or the fact that no running back has led the league in rushing two years in a row since LaDainian Tomlinson in 2006-07.

A lot of the talk will be centered around Ray Rice.

Question: i’m guessing its no small feat to keep a team from being resentful at the limited participation mcclain has had in practices since he’s been with the cowboys. your thoughts?

As for the defense, the Cowboys brought in Greg Hardy and Randy Gregory as well as resigning linebacker Rolando McClain. There comes a point where you can only bend the “right kind of guy” rule so much. Johnson isn’t not necessarily a fantasy prospect for 2015, but his loss shines a light on what is increasingly becoming a dire situation in the Dallas backfield. The Arizona Cardinals offered Johnson a one year deal a few days ago, but Johnson hasn’t committed to anything yet. “If you do, you come back worse”, said Lee, who had a career-high 131 tackles in 2011, the closest thing he had to a full season when he started 15 games. I just think he showed a little bit when we were live yesterday in some of the shortage. Jones will not only contribute his own skills to the Dallas secondary, he will also whip players like Morris Claiborne and Brandon Carr back into shape by threatening their futures with the team.

Garett approved of Johnson’s starting prospect and it actually looked like it would be the only chance he will get as the trio is expected to return to practice after the game against the Chargers. That resentment was subdued last season because McClain was so effective – and at times dominant – when he did play. Johnson had more yards a carry than Jackson did, but Jackson was far more effective at getting in the end zone with his six touchdowns. Though he still has some holes in the game that need to be refined, he will be fit enough to play alongside Tony Romo.
