The Dallas Cowboys have been trying to figure out what to do with running back DeMarco Murray all week. He injured his hand and there was some consensus thinking that he wouldn’t play this weekend against the Indianapolis Colts as they try to clinch the division with a win. The opportunity was created by the Washington Redskins beating the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday night.
With the opportunity to clinch, the Cowboys might go ahead and play Murray. This season Murray and the run game has been an integral part of the offense and helped the Cowboys to win all season long, playing with out him really puts the Cowboys in an uneasy situation.
#Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray is going to play today with a pad on his hand. That was clear from his 1st-team participation in walk-thru Sat.

If the Cowboys can clinch a playoff spot on Sunday, they might not try and contend for one of the top two seeds and instead elect to rest players in the final week of the season.
#Cowboys nervous how DeMarco Murray will hold up in pass-blocking. But don’t be surprised if he & others sit out next week if in playoffs
