We don\u2019t know,\u201d Jones said in an interview with 105.3 The Fan. \u201cI\u2019m not so sure, when they say the definition of healing, how much can heal between now and Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Murray&#8217;s 1,687 yards lead the NFL. He is just under 100 yards shy of breaking Emmitt Smith&#8217;s single season franchise record of 1,773 yards rushing set in 1995.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019d have to see him practice. I think it\u2019s more a question of the condition of the hand at game time and what we can do to protect it,\u201d Jones said. \u201cI think it\u2019s one of those that you\u2019d want to wait and see just how he\u2019s feeling before the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite winning against the Eagles and taking over the NFC East the Cowboys are finding themselves in a must win situation. With a loss to the Colts and an Eagles win over the Redskins the Cowboys would fall back out of the top spot in the division as the Eagles hold the tie breaker.<\/p>\n<p>If Murray cannot go on Sunday the Cowboys will give the ball to Joseph Randle who has handled himself well in relief this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DeMarco Murray suffered a break in his left hand in Sunday night&#8217;s win over the Eagles.
