The Cowboys' coaching staff will be one of the two staffs, along with the Ravens. And for now, Murray is one of six players expected to play. Tony Romo, Dez Bryant, Zack Martin, Tyron Smith and Travis Frederick were all selected as well.

Murray led the NFL in rushing this past season with a franchise-record 1,845 yards, eclipsing Emmitt Smith's record of 1,773 yards set in 1995.

This week, Murray was named Offensive Player of the Year, voted on by the Pro Football Writers Association.
