MRI Coming for DeMarco Murray, and More NFC East News

The Dallas Cowboys got the running game going again Sunday in Baltimore, but that went well beyond a solid performance from DeMarco Murray. And now, there's a chance they'll have to get used to finding holes for backs not named Murray.

That's because the team's top back told ESPN's Ed Werder that he'll be undergoing an MRI Monday on the foot he sprained in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. 

But it doesn't appear as though it's too serious. Murray came back into the game for a single snap in the third quarter but the Cowboys opted to leave him on the sideline the rest of the way. 

"I was trying to (get back in), that was their decision to (take) me out," Murray said, per ESPNDallas.com's Calvin Watkins. "It's a long season. It's only the fifth game, and I have to do what's best for the team."
