Dunbar missed the team's first two preseason games with a hamstring injury but caught the attention of coaches with a couple of explosive runs in Monday's practice at Chargers Park with the San Diego Chargers.

"He's mentally into what we're doing. He has a good feel for our offense," said running backs coach Skip Peete. "He's a talented runner ... We just have to, obviously, give him the opportunity. I'm excited to see what he can do in a preseason game."

this next game is going to be my favorite Cowboys game of all time. Watching Jamize and Lance rain down the pain on the Rams is going to be so awesome to see.

Don't they play starters for a majority of the 3rd preseason game (at least an entire half)? If so, it will be interesting to see who gets more carries with Romo & crew.
