The Dallas Cowboys have expressed optimism that DeMarco Murray is closer to returning from his sprained foot.

The Cowboys may give Murray one extra week of rest.

"We’ll just have to see," Jason Garrett said Monday afternoon. "It seems like he’s moving around a little bit better. Again, that’s an injury you have to be patient with. We don’t want to rush him back then take any backward steps. We’ll see how he is day-by-day this week."
