The Dallas Cowboys added starter Darren McFadden to the club’s official injury/practice report Thursday. McFadden fully participated in practice Wednesday but was limited Thursday because of a strained groin.

McFadden, who has a long history of injuries that derailed his career in Oakland after he was the fourth overall pick, has been healthy for the most part all season. But over the last four games, McFadden has averaged 23.3 carries as he’s taken over the starter role following Dallas’ release of Joseph Randle. (Dallas Morning News)

Nerdy Football Analysis: The Cowboys have said Thursday’s absence was in an effort to “keep him fresh”, but McFadden is notorious for getting hurt. Typically, it has been his hamstrings that have given him the most problems. Friday’s practice report will be important. Rod Smith is likely the first man up if he cannot go, but newly-acquired Robert Turbin could also figure into the mix.
