DeMarco Murray wasn\u2019t able to get the 87 yards he needed to break Emmitt Smith\u2019s Cowboys season rushing record on Sunday, but he impressed his coach and team members regardless. \u201cThis day with DeMarco Murray is going to be one that I\u2019ll never forget\u201d said Coach Jason Garrett, after the Cowboys\u2019 win versus the Colts on Sunday.<\/p>\n
According to Garrett, Murray\u2019s mentality didn’t waver: \u201cI\u2019m playing, coach. I\u2019m playing\u201d. Murray played with his left hand in a padded glove and a plastic shell on Sunday, to protect his left hand which had eight screws and a metal plate applied to his fourth metacarpal<\/a> just last Monday.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable toughness on his part,\u201d Cowboys tight end Jason Witten said. \u201cJust unbelievable courage and toughness and pride. I\u2019ve always prided myself on being tough, but seeing that gains a lot of respect.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" DeMarco Murray wasn\u2019t able to get the 87 yards he needed to break Emmitt Smith\u2019s Cowboys season rushing record on Sunday, but he impressed his coach and team members regardless. \u201cThis day with DeMarco Murray is going to be one that I\u2019ll never forget\u201d said Coach Jason Garrett, after the Cowboys\u2019 win versus the Colts […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/handsurgeonsnyc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4365"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/handsurgeonsnyc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/handsurgeonsnyc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handsurgeonsnyc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handsurgeonsnyc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/handsurgeonsnyc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4365\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/handsurgeonsnyc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handsurgeonsnyc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handsurgeonsnyc.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
