Darren McFadden leaves ‘Monday Night Football’ with possible concussion vs. Washington

Darren McFadden lost two fumbles on the night.

Darren McFadden is being evaluated for a possible concussion after fumbling for a second time against Washington on Monday Night Football. The Cowboys running back had been having a productive evening with 35 yards on nine carries and one reception for 6 yards.

As long as McFadden sits, the Cowboys will likely rely on Robert Turbin to handle the rushing load with Lucky Whitehead acting as a change of pace. They may not be able to replicate the veteran's production, however. At 28 years old, McFadden has been having something of a renaissance season with 669 yards rushing and 263 yards receiving in 12 appearances including the game Monday.

The Cowboys have been snake bitten at the running back position this season, losing Lance Dunbar to a torn ACL and releasing Joseph Randle due to off-field problems. Turbin has not seen much playing time this season. Entering Monday's game, he had 46 yards rushing on just nine carries in 2015.
