Cowboys RB's Felix Jones, Phillip Tanner May Split Time At Tailback

Tanner Makes Most Of Playing Time Against Rams

Lost to some degree in DeMarco Murray’s record-breaking performance on Sunday, though rightfully so, will be the contributions of Phillip Tanner, the undrafted running back with local ties. A graduate of Kimball High School in Dallas, Tanner finally got a chance to run on Sunday, with Felix Jones out, Tashard Choice suffering from fumble-itis and Murray in need of some rest after...
