RB DeMarco Murray: 52 of 68
WR Kevin Ogletree: 33 of 68
TE John Phillips: 30 of 68
FB Lawrence Vickers: 29 of 68
RB Felix Jones: 12 of 68

Felix Jones, the former No. 1 draft pick, played sparingly and did not carry the ball. Tony Romo directed two passes his way, but he had no offensive impact. ... The pecking order for the Cowboys’ six receivers revealed itself -- at least through the first week -- based on playing time. Cole Beasley played ahead of Dwayne Harris and Andre Holmes, each of whom had large special teams roles, but none in the offense. That’s because Beasley can play the slot on the rare occasion the Cowboys go three wide and Austin isn’t in the slot or when the Cowboys use four receivers out of the shotgun. ... Jeremy Parnell played only two plays, but he whiffed on the block when fullback Lawrence Vickers was stopped on fourth-and-1.
