Mon, 11 Feb 2013 04:08:26 -0800 The Dallas Cowboys will likely not select a running back in the NFL Draft. Instead, the team will likely rely on RBs Lance Dunbar and Phillip Tanner to back up starting RB DeMarco Murray.

Tue, 08 Jan 2013 19:23:14 -0800 Dallas Cowboys RB Felix Jones is in the final year of his deal, and he is unlikely to be re-signed, especially since young RBs Lance Dunbar and Phillip Tanner showed promise behind RB DeMarco Murray.
Sun, 30 Dec 2012 16:12:34 -0800 The Dallas Cowboys have declared OT Darrion Weems, OG David Arkin, DL Jay Ratliff, C Kevin Kowalski, RB Phillip Tanner, DL Robert Callaway, OL Ronald Leary inactive for Week 17.

Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:32:53 -0800 Dallas Cowboys RBs Lance Dunbar and Phillip Tanner figure to get the brunt of the carries in Week 12 against the Washington Redskins Thursday, Nov. 22, if the team's top two rushers, RB Felix Jones (knee) and RB DeMarco Murray (foot) cannot go. Dunbar said he would welcome more touches, if given the opportunity. "I'm ready for it," Dunbar said. "I know the offense. I know my assignments. Anthony I can do to help the team, I will."
Tue, 06 Nov 2012 18:48:57 -0800 Dallas Cowboys RB Lance Dunbar picked up more carries in the Week 9 game against the Atlanta Falcons than RB Phillip Tanner. Head coach Jason Garrett explained that Tanner's special teams duties pushed the team to give Dunbar more touches.
Mon, 05 Nov 2012 07:49:11 -0800 The Dallas Cowboys converted just three of 10 third-down opportunities in Week 9. Drops were a key factor to the struggles; WR Kevin Ogletree dropped a third-down pass in the second quarter. RB Phillip Tanner missed an opening on a third-and-1 run in the second quarter, and WR Miles Austin had a third-down drop in the third quarter.
Mon, 05 Nov 2012 05:49:51 -0800 Dallas Cowboys RB Felix Jones started in the team's Week 9 game, while RB Lance Dunbar received a majority of the snaps as the backup instead of RB Phillip Tanner. The Cowboys rushed for 65 yards on 18 carries. Jones had 39 yards on nine carries and Dunbar, on eight carries, picked up 26 yards.
Fri, 02 Nov 2012 17:38:01 -0700 The Dallas Cowboys haven't had a running game since losing RB DeMarco Murray (foot) to a sprained left foot in mid-October. Since he has been out, the team has rushed 48 times but averaged just 2.2 yards per carry on the ground. RB Felix Jones (shoulder, knee) isn't 100 percent, but he is probable on the team's official injury report for Week 9. The Cowboys would prefer to continue relying on him because RBs Phillip Tanner and Lance Dunbar are not as sound in pass protection.
Thu, 01 Nov 2012 09:45:31 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RB Felix Jones' (knee, neck) health now is an area of concern as the team prepares for its Week 9 game. In addition to a bruised knee suffered in a game Oct. 21, Jones also suffered a nerve irritation in his neck in the first series of that game. Jones carried the ball 13 times for just 19 yards in Week 8. He was on the practice field Thursday, Nov. 1, with his knee taped up. "We'll see what his health is going into this game," head coach Jason Garrett said. "Certainly those other guys have to be ready to play." RBs Phillip Tanner and Lance Dunbar are the only two healthy backs currently on the roster.
Sat, 27 Oct 2012 07:55:52 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RB Felix Jones (knee) will start in Week 8 in place of RB DeMarco Murray (foot). RB Phillip Tanner will also see action, and there's a good chance the team finds a role for RB Lance Dunbar in the game as well.
Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:54:53 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RB Phillip Tanner worked with the first-team offense during practice Wednesday, Oct. 24, because of injuries to RB DeMarco Murray (foot) and RB Felix Jones (knee).
Tue, 23 Oct 2012 20:01:54 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RB Phillip Tanner played 35 of the team's 68 offensive snaps in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers, two more snaps than RB Felix Jones (knee).
Tue, 23 Oct 2012 10:39:28 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray (foot) was seen carrying crutches without a limp Monday, Oct. 22, but he's still unlikely to return in Week 8 against the New York Giants. RB Felix Jones (knee, neck) is expected to start despite being nicked up in Week 7. Jones will likely split the load with RP Phillip Tanner.
Mon, 22 Oct 2012 08:12:33 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RB Phillip Tanner served as the offense's closer in Week 7 at running back. With RB Felix Jones (knee) injured, the Cowboys handed the ball to Tanner on five of their final six snaps of the game. Tanner finished with a career-high 13 carries and 30 yards, and he also caught one pass for eight yards.
Sun, 21 Oct 2012 17:10:37 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RBs Felix Jones and Phillip Tanner split the carries in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. Jones carried 15 times for a team-high 44 yards, while Tanner ran for 30 yards on 13 totes. Jones was also good for five receptions and 30 yards, while Tanner added an eight-yard reception.
Mon, 15 Oct 2012 18:07:25 -0700 Despite the loss of Dallas Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray (foot) for the Week 7 game against the Carolina Panthers, the combination of RBs Felix Jones, Phillip Tanner and Lance Dunbar should be able to run against a rush defense allowing 127 yards per game.
Mon, 15 Oct 2012 13:41:45 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray (foot) is unlikely to play in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers after suffering ligament damage in his left foot in Week 6. Murray will likely be on a week-to-week status, according to sources. An MRI exam showed no broken bones, though. Murray was not in a walking boot after the game. Fantasy Tip: If Murray misses significant time, look for Felix Jones to become the every-down back, with Phillip Tanner and Lance Dunbar also having increased roles.
Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:40:02 -0700 Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said the team is open to removing RB Felix Jones from the kick return role after he fumbled the opening kickoff against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. WRs Kevin Ogletree and Dwayne Harris, RB Phillip Tanner and CB Morris Claiborne could be other options to return kicks.
Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:21:17 -0700 Dallas Cowboys LB Dan Connor (hip), C Phil Costa (back), RB Phillip Tanner (hand) and LB DeMarcus Ware (hamstring) practiced in full Tuesday, Sept. 4, and are probable for Week 1.

He also had two receptions for five yards. Dunbar is battling RB Phillip Tanner for the No. 3 tailback job. If Dunbar fails to win a roster spot, he is believed to be a prime practice squad candidate.
Thu, 23 Aug 2012 17:51:14 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RB Phillip Tanner (hand) participated in practice Thursday, Aug. 23. He is not sure if he will play in the third preseason game Saturday, Aug. 25.

Sun, 24 Jun 2012 19:05:25 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RB Phillip Tanner will try to hold off a charge from RB Lance Dunbar for the third running back job in training camp. Both players are the result of scouting work done in Dallas Day workouts, the team's pre-draft workouts for Dallas-area prospects.
Sun, 24 Jun 2012 19:04:53 -0700 The Dallas Cowboys hold their annual Dallas Day workouts before the draft for players with ties to the local area. Former WR Patrick Crayton is the biggest success story from past workouts, but current RB Phillip Tanner is an example on the current roster of a player who caught the eye of the team in Dallas Day workouts. Four players were inked as a result of these workouts this year. LB Adrian Hamilton is a pass rusher who has a chance to make the team. CB Isaac Madison earned some reps with the first-team nickel package, and will be fighting for a fifth cornerback job in training camp. WR Cole Beasley might be another option in the pass game, while RB Lance Dunbar will be fighting for the No. 3 running back job. Dunbar will also get a chance to impress on kickoff returns.

Sun, 23 Oct 2011 17:15:03 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RB Phillip Tanner checked in on offense for the first time this season in Week 7 against the St. Louis Rams, and made some nice blocks. He also received six carries for 34 yards and a touchdown.
Fri, 21 Oct 2011 11:42:48 -0700 As expected, Dallas Cowboys RB Felix Jones (ankle) will miss the team's Week 7 game with a high left ankle sprain. RBs DeMarco Murray and Tashard Choice will split the carries in his absence. RB Phillip Tanner could also factor into the game plan.
