DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - The Dallas Cowboys have released running back Joseph Randle.

Randle has had a rough three years with Dallas. Despite all of his off-the-field troubles, Randle was given an opportunity to run away with the starting running back job after DeMarco Murray departed to Philadelphia. Randle responded by being someone you just couldn't count on every week.

Jerry Jones hinted at Randle's release in an interview with Shan and RJ this morning on 105.3 The Fan. The Cowboys owner said that Randle will be absent for another game - this time against the division rival Philadelphia Eagles.

"We're not planning on Joseph (Randle) playing Sunday" said Jones.

Jones would go no further with his comments on Randle or his future with the team. "I'm going to stop it right there because there are several things we're weighing right now - so let's just leave it at that."
