Cowboys' Darren McFadden: Unlikely to join 53-man roster this week

McFadden (elbow) likely won't join the Cowboys' 53-man roster this week, the Dallas Morning News reports.

Analysis:

Embedded within his second week of a three-week window for activation from the non-football injury list, McFadden has been working with the scout team as the Cowboys prepare for Sunday night's road showdown with the Giants. His recovery from May's broken elbow has taken far longer than expected, but Ezekiel Elliott's excellence has allowed Dallas' staff to take a prudent approach with the team's leading rusher from last season. If McFadden makes an appearance in the current campaign, he must be bumped to the active roster by Dec. 18, when the Cowboys host the Buccaneers.
