IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray will have surgery Monday to repair a broken bone in his hand, team executive vice president Stephen Jones said.
Murray, however, has not been ruled out for this week's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Jones announced the injury Monday during a radio interview on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.
Murray suffered a broken fourth metacarpal bone in his left hand, a source told ESPN.com. The injury occurred late in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys' 38-27 win against the Philadelphia Eagles.
After the game, Murray said he was "good," but he did not elaborate about his hand. He had X-rays taken after the game and was examined further Monday
The fourth metacarpal is the long bone in the hand that runs from the base of the fourth finger to the wrist.
If Murray can't play against the Colts, the Cowboys would turn to Joseph Randle and Lance Dunbar as their top tailbacks. Ryan Williams has spent the year on the practice squad.
