IRVING (105.3 The Fan) - Cowboys running back Darren McFadden broke his elbow in "an accident at home" over the Memorial Day weekend and has undergone surgery expected to sideline him for two months.
"The guy is tough,'' said head coach Jason Garrett, noting that McFadden practiced all last week at OTAs before a physical this week revealed the break.
The team is optimistic that he'll be healthy in time to participate at some point during training camp.
Sources tell me that McFadden (Dallas' leading rusher a year ago) had been splitting reps in practice with star rookie Ezekiel Elliott, who will now likely firm up his role as the No. 1 back with veteran Alfred Morris working behind him.
