The Facts:
There was a thought Murray would play in Sunday's game against the Lions. But Murray missed his second consecutive game with a sprained left knee. Murray's absence might have surprised Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones. "I think DeMarco Murray could have gone," Jones said after the Cowboys' 31-30 loss to the Lions. "I don’t know what risk we would have taken with him, but he could have gone."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Murray was limited in practice this week and said if he was practicing he expected to play. As ESPN.com's Calvin Watkins suggests, the Cowboys might have been being cautious with Murray by sitting him out another week. But the rushing attack wasn't impressive in his absence. Murray's replacement, rookie Joseph Randle rushed for 26 yards on 14 carries. Lance Dunbar also rushed for 16 yards on five carries.
