The Facts:
On his Tuesday radio show on KRLD-FM, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the team will continue to evaluate running back DeMarco Murray progress heading into Week 11's matchup with the Cleveland Browns. At the same time, Jones emphasized the Cowboys were thinking "down the road" and they want Murray fully healthy before he plays again. “He is a physical running back,” Jones said. “You want to be very comfortable for him to make his cut. All of that has to be right before he goes out there because we got to look down the road here. We hope we are in this thing and needing him on every play as we moving forward even beyond Cleveland.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Murray has already missed four games with a sprained foot and based on Jones' comments, it sounds like he's on track to be on the sideline for his fifth straight. Felix Jones lives to see another start against a Browns defense that has given up 1,534 combo yards and five total touchdowns to opposing running backs. Jones ran for 71 yards on 16 carries and added three catches for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Eagles. He's a solid fantasy start this week. Backup Lance Dunbar had six carries for 20 yards and remains a desperation start in very deep leagues only.
