Dunbar, Tanner likely to be main backups
Lance Dunbar - RB - Dallas Cowboys
Feb. 10, 2013 - 2:25 PM ET

ESPN Dallas says RBs Lance Dunbar and Phillip Tanner are most likely to be DeMarco Murray's backups in 2013.

Beat writer Calvin Watkins dismisses the notion that the Cowboys will draft a running back, as they only have six draft picks and plenty of holes to fill. Felix Jones is a free agent, and his Dallas days are "over." ESPN Dallas said last month that the team was higher on Dunbar than Tanner. The Cowboys would be wise to have a capable backup for Murray, who has missed nine games in two seasons.
