Murray ran for 29 yards and a touchdown before exiting the game, and this news is certainly encouraging considering the initial prognosis on the injury.
Fantasy spin: The latest news on Murray’s injury should come as a relief to his fantasy owners. Knee injuries are always scary, but Murray seems to have avoided a serious injury.
Joseph Randle is in line to get the majority of the carries in the Cowboys' Week 7 game against the Philadelphia Eagles with Murray out. He's worth picking up for the short term, but as soon as Murray returns, Randle will go back to being nothing more than a handcuff for fantasy football owners.
