Nobody should question Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray's toughness again.
Two days after undergoing surgery for a broken bone in his left hand, Murray was back on the field, wearing a pad on his injured hand. He caught passes, too. While there are still a few days to go before the Cowboys play the Indianapolis Colts, if Murray didn't even sit out Wednesday's practice it would seem he's got a great chance of playing.

Many fantasy football owners carried to the championship this week by Murray, who leads the NFL with 1,687 yards (nobody else has more than 1,278), are impatiently waiting to hear if he'll play.
it looks like if Murray plays, it'll be with a large pad over his surgically repaired left hand, like he wore in practice.
It wouldn't have been surprising if Murray would have sat at least this week, and it would have been understandable in what is a contract year for the Cowboys' running back. But the Cowboys can win the NFC East with two more wins, so it looks like Murray is pushing to play less than a week after surgery. For a player who was known for injuries early in his career, it would be quite a comeback story.
