Cowboys thin on experience at backup running back

IRVING, Texas – The Dallas Cowboys’ decision to release Christine Michael was something of a surprise simply because of the inexperience they have behind Darren McFadden.

Only rookies Rod Smith and Trey Williams are on the 53-man roster and Smith is the longer tenured of the two, having arrived off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 14. Williams was signed off the Washington Redskins practice squad on Nov. 8.

Smith has played in 10 snaps in three games but has yet to record a stat.
