Our View: This injury is unfortunate for both Jones and the Cowboys, as he looked outstanding on Monday night before going down. Tashard Choice will be the biggest benefactor of Jones being out, and he could carry the load this week if Marion Barber isn't 100 percent.

Another Dallas RB Injured

Source (fftoday.com) (RB - dal) | 0 comments.

Felix Jones Suffers Knee Injury, MRI Today

Jerry Jones said Tuesday that he is concerned about the severity of running back Felix Jones' knee injury. The Cowboys owner said Jones was unable to loosen his left knee after suffering what the team has initially diagnosed as a knee strain that would be re-evaluated, indicating the likelihood the second-year pro will have an MRI. It also marked the second time in three games this season that Jones was too injured to finish. He suffered a bruised quadriceps in the season-opener against Tampa Bay. (ESPN)

FF Today's Take: Jones was on his way to a monster evening totaling 114 yards on just nine touches before getting injured. Tashard Choice becomes a hot waiver wire pickup with Barber (thigh) and Jones (knee) likely to spend more time in the training room than on the practice field this week.

Felix Jones will have an MRI on his strained quad on Tuesday, according to the Dallas Morning News. He had 94 yards on eight carries before pulling up lame in Monday night's game. He originally strained his quad in the season opener.

Our View: There did not seem to be a lot of concern regarding his injury last night, but this is the same injury that Marion Barber is dealing with. We'll wait to see what the MRI results are first, but don't be shocked to see Jones miss a game or two. Tashard Choice is the top option for the Cowboys if both Jones and Barber are unavailable next week at Denver.

Tashard Choice is will likely get "at least" ten carries in Week 3 if Marion Barber (quad) is unable to go at running back for the Cowboys, according to Matt Mosley of ESPN.

Our View: Even though Felix Jones will get the start if Barber can't play, Choice could have a big night with ten or so carries against the Panthers' leaky run defense, which has allowed 336 rushing yards in just two games in 2009.

ESPN's Matt Mosley says Felix Jones will be in line for 20 or so carries this Monday against the Panthers if Marion Barber (quad) is unable to go.

Our View: It has already been reported that Jones would get more than the seven carries he had in Week 2 even if Barber were to play, so 20 in his absence sounds about right. The Panthers have allowed an astronomical 168 rushing yards per game so far in 2009, so he could have a very productive night.

Barber may play in Week 3

Source (fanball.com) (RB - dal) | 0 comments.

Updating a previous report, Cowboys running back Marion Barber still hopes to play in Monday's Week 3 contest against the Panthers, according to ESPN.com.

Our View: An earlier reports had Barber missing at least 1-2 weeks with a strained hamstring, but now he's being considered day-to-day. He'll likely be a game-time decision as the Cowboys are using the "wait and see" approach, but you may want to grab Tashard Choice or Felix Jones if they are available, as they'll likely get increased carries even if Barber does play.

Quad Strain Could Sideline Barber

Source (fftoday.com) (RB - dal) | 0 comments.

Day-To-Day

A quad injury did what New York's defense couldn't. It shut down Marion Barber at the end of Sunday's game. And it could keep him out even longer. An MRI taken Monday morning confirmed Barber suffered a quad strain. When asked later in the afternoon if the injury could force the running back to miss some time, head coach Wade Phillips said, "We'll have to wait and see on that." How the injury responds in the next few days will determine if he's able to play against Carolina. Barber has an extra day to recover since the Cowboys don't play again until Monday night. If he can't go or is limited against the Panthers it would mean more time for Tashard Choice and Felix Jones. (Dallas Morning News)

FF Today's Take: Tashard Choice will be a hot waiver wire pickup this week and be a decent play against the Carolina defense should Barber miss the upcoming Monday night game.

Report: Barber out 1-to-2 weeks

Source (fanball.com) (RB - dal) | 0 comments.

Updating a previous report, the NBC affiliate of the Dallas-Fort Worth area is reporting that Cowboys' running back Marion Barber will miss 1-to-2 weeks with his strained quad injury.

Our View: It looks like the Cowboys have almost officially ruled Barber out for this weekend, so now would be a good time to jump on Tashard Choice for anyone needing running back help. Felix Jones will also get an increased load this week, so if you have him it is probably worth starting him. We will continue to monitor Barber's status.

Choice could see increased workload

Source (fanball.com) (RB - dal) | 0 comments.

ESPN.com is reporting that Cowboys' running back Tashard Choice could see a boost in playing time if Marion Barber is unable to play this weekend. Choice would split carries with Felix Jones in Barber's absence.

Our View: Choice made a very good impression on the team last season when he filled in due to injuries to Barber and Jones, and he could get half of the running back touches this weekend if Barber is out. He would be the likely candidate for short-yardage and goal-line situations over Jones, but he is likely to return to the third-string role when Barber gets healthy.

Barber could be sidelined with quad injury

Source (fanball.com) (RB - dal) | 0 comments.

The Dallas Morning News is reporting that Marion Barber's strained quad could keep him out for this week's game. Barber missed the end of Sunday night's game due to the injury.

Our View: The injury is only a strain, but coahc Wade Phillips didn't sound completely confident that Barber would be ready for this week. Felix Jones looks like he could be a good play this week if Barber is out or limited, so Jones owners should be aware of Barber's status.

Jones ran seven times for 96 yards and a touchdown as the Cowboys

Source (nfl.com) (RB - dal) | 0 comments.

Jones ran seven times for 96 yards and a touchdown as the Cowboys lost their opener at their new stadium 33-31 to the Giants on Sunday night.

Impacts: Jones was very effective on the ground, but he did lose a costly fumble on a kickoff return late in the first quarter, leading to a Giants field goal. Despite the fumble, the second-year back's first in eight games, Jones could see increased playing time next week with starter Marion Barber nursing a quadriceps injury.

No Word On Status Of RB Barber

Source (fftoday.com) (RB - dal) | 0 comments.

Leg Injury Unknown

Marion Barber's 35-yard run with 4:02 left in the game set up the Cowboys' go-ahead touchdown. But Barber injured himself on the play. On the run, it appeared that he had broken into daylight and scored, but he suddenly went down before any Giants hit him. He hobbled to the sideline. As of late in the game, the Cowboys had not released information about Barber's injury. (Dallas Morning News)

FF Today's Take: Barber appeared to have pulled or strained something in his leg on the play. More information should become available shortly. Tashard Choice and Felix Jones would get more touches if Barber misses any time.

Barber's quad injury not serious

Source (fanball.com) (RB - dal) | 0 comments.

The Dallas Morning News reports that Marion Barber's quad injury is just a strain, and not considered serious.

Our View: So it sounds like he will play next weekend after all. In case Felix Jones somehow isn't owned in your league, however, it would be a brilliant idea to pick him up as a handcuff (and potential weekly flex play).

Details of Barber's quad injury still murky

Source (fanball.com) (RB - dal) | 0 comments.

The severity of Marion Barber's left quad injury is not yet known, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Our View: It is being called a strain, but no grade has been assigned to it. Barber seems to be perpetually banged up, though he has only missed one game in the the past three seasons. Felix Jones will be in-line for a big game against the Panthers next week if Barber is unavailable.

Jones picks up 96 yards in loss

Source (fanball.com) (RB - dal) | 0 comments.

Felix Jones only had seven carries on Sunday against the Giants, but he rattled off 96 yards and a touchdown. He also had six kick returns for 134 yards and a fumble.

Our View: Perhaps more importantly, Marion Barber appeared to have injured his thigh on his last run of the game. Jones is a fine flex play most weeks, but if Barber is unable to go, Jones will be a must play.

Jones dealing with quad injury

Felix Jones will be limited in practice this week as he deals with a bruised quad, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Our View: Well that didn't take long. Jones played in just six games as a rookie last season because of injury, and despite his tremendous upside, doesn't have much fantasy value until he proves he can stay healthy.

Todd Archer, of The Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys RB Felix Jones could be limited in his work this week because of a bruised quadriceps.Mancini’s Take: What’s troubling about Jones is that he’s beginning to show that he may not be built to take a big workload. But, then again, the Cowboys showed that they don’t plan on making the second-year player the main man alongside Marion Barber III. In fact, in the Buc game, MBIII dominated the ball...

Felix Jones has thigh bruise

Felix Jones is dealing with a thigh bruise sustained during Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Our View: That explains why Jones only had two carries for zero yards in the second half, and was replaced by Miles Austin on a kickoff return. Head coach Wade Phillips is uncertain if Jones will be able to practice Wednesday.
